When her husband, who she met in his 60s, died after fighting a disease, the story of asking for advice was known, saying that her ex-married children demanded to leave the house.

A, who appeared on YTN radio's 'lawyer Cho In-seop's counseling center' on the 28th, said, "I've been married to three generations of readers and have been married for nearly 30 years because I can't have children."

He said, "When my paternal mother passed away, I was wide awake. "I divorced my husband because I thought I shouldn't live like this," he said. "I thought there would be no man in my life in the future, but I met a new relationship not long after I got divorced."

The opposite man met A while preparing for the second act of his life, losing his wife to a disease a long time ago and raising his children on his own. So the two decided to live under one roof, relying on each other.

As we met late, we didn't register our marriage, he said. "I thought we didn't have to be tied to each other. But happiness didn't last long. He confessed, "He got sick, and after a long illness, he eventually passed away."

In the process, the other's ex-marriage children visited A and said, "I have no legal right because I didn't even report the marriage. It's a rented house in my father's name, so clean it up and leave," he claimed.

Mr. A said, "My mind went blank. I've been with him for 10 years and I've even taken care of him, but should I be kicked out of the house empty-handed right now? he said. "I've been taking care of him without working." I don't even have any money saved up. I don't have any legal rights," he said.

Lawyer Lim Soo-mi said, "In the case of A, he did not register his marriage with his deceased husband, but if he has lived economically and emotionally for 10 years and saw the two as a couple, it is highly likely to be recognized as a common-law relationship." "However, we need evidence such as photos to prove whether he had a serious intention to marry, testimonies from acquaintances, and details of sharing living expenses."

Under the current law, the spouse of a common-law marriage has no legal right to inherit. Therefore, if the husband dies, the ex-married children, not A, will inherit the property," he added.

He also added that if the deceased husband owned his own house, this house will also be owned by his children, and if A asks him to leave, he has no choice but to leave.
