Can I sue my ex-fiancé and father of my child for fraud?

Q: We were together for over a decade and I supported him by paying half of everything in order for him to save money. He promised me one of the investment properties acquired during the relationship but that is no longer on the table.

A: New York does not recognize common law relationships – as such, there doesn’t appear to be anything you can do regarding the promised property transfer (though you may always consult a real estate attorney on that question). You CAN however sue him for child support regarding the child you share. Schedule a consult with a Westchester Divorce Attorney for a full assessment.
