I'm fairly certain a fiancé visa is only valid for 6 months. Long enough for your fiancé to enter the country and hold a wedding. After you're married she would need to return home to apply for a spouse visa.
if you mean ticking de facto instead of spouse on the spouse visa application the only difficulty will be in proving your relationship and convincing the Officer that gets your application that your relationship will continue once she's granted permission to live in the UK.
if you've got children and longevity to your relationship then I see no issue there.
Considering moving back to the U.K. Help !?
