Hello ****,
In Kentucky, since common-law marriages are not recognized, you might not have legal rights to shared property. However, you can:
- Prove financial contributions to the property
- File a lawsuit for unjust enrichment
- Show a written agreement stating division of property
Consult a local attorney for guidance.

Phase sit for unjust enrichment what's that
Unjust enrichment is a legal principle that a person should not profit at another's expense. If you've contributed to the property, but it's in his name, you may sue for unjust enrichment. It's best to consult a lawyer for this complex issue.
