If you’re in a long-term situation of any sort, contact legal counsel now to make the best break of it.
You might not have chosen the label of “wife” or “husband,” but there is a designation you could fall under in the State of Washington. It’s called a “Committed Intimate Relationship” (CIR) and it zeroes in on equitable property division for longtime partners. This label applies to couples of any gender or framework, if the relationship checks off set legal criteria.
