I am engaged, with the understanding that it may, but as yet not definitely will, lead to marriage. We have known each other 1 year and became engaged after 4 months. We lived together for the first 3 months but have not cohabitated for the past 9 months and do not intend to do so again. I am about to take a job in a different city and he wants to follow me there although there will be few job opportunities for him there and he plans to study and start a business. Our finances are not co-mingled and neither supports the other financially. There is a significant financial difference between us. If we were to split up at some point, would we be considered to be in a meretricious relationship and property/debt be divided as such?
If yes, is there something I need to draw up to protect myself?
Additionally, can a professional license be judged as community property in the above situation if the license was acquired within a year of the relationship beginning?
