romadgo..utter rubbish!...Nothing wrong in common law marriages, I do not live in the US, I am pagan and as a pagan I got 'wed' we had a handfastening ceremony.  Just because its not recognised by law doesnt mean it doesnt work.  Many of my friends live with their life partner, and have kids. A piece of paper doesnt keep you together, love does

Common Law marriage is when two people live together and share all bills and expenses.  Usually a lease, car payment and utilities.  The time line for a state to recognize this union differs from state to state. And not all states recognize common law marriage.

As far as I know, the only US state that recognizes same sex marriage is Massachusetts

Ha!  I doubt there are any lists.  First of all you have to find out if common-law marriages were even legal in Kansas.  They are not legal in most states.  Even in states where they are legal, like Washington, D.C., there are no lists because a common-law marriage, by definition, is one that the man and woman agree to strictly between themselves and without any formal church or government ceremony.  Therefore the government will have no records.

There is usually some type of legal protection for "Common Law" marriages, which are people who live together for many years without marriage.  You will probably have to get a lawyer to help you, though.

could definitely do it in a weekend if its not a same sex marriage. could do it pretty much in a day in several states actually. you can go to tennessee one afternoon and get married in a courthouse.

Depends under which countries laws you are considering. Common law marriage in England is a reference to a couple who are not married (or who have entered into a civil  partnership) but to all intents and purposes act as if they are married, (slightly simplistic bit a working definition. In England ya common law marriage is not legal or illegal it is a fact. You can then go on to get married or go through a civil partnership ceremony.

For sure Maryland ,Massachusetts, New Jersey & Vermount...  i heard that California but i am not sure about that... But in Maryland u do not have to be state resadance to get married there. my 1/2 sisters aunt went to maryland a couple years ago and married her partner\nI remember them saying that it is not recanised as marrige here in pa but they were considerd life partners or a civil union they would not be able to collect from the goverment from one another or file income tax together but just the same they did not care.... it was kinda cool one wore a white! wedding dress and the other a tux and got married right in a gay church. It was something to see i can tell you that much. Her partner ended up dying just 16 months after they were married and she was gay since she was a early teen she had a son from a one night stand with a guy just to see what it was like.. anyway... all she ever wanted was to get married to the right woman  and her dream came true..and her son has a parent in his life he would not of had one because his father was no where to be found. the son lives with the aunt and thinks of her as his mother and is not afraid to tell anyone that his mom is dead but his other mom is raising him now. Now rather i agree with the life style is another story..

I'm new to TX and did not know it recognizes "common law" marriage. If your father and step-mom filed their taxes jointly as a married couple then he probably does have a case for bigamy. It's like a contract admitting their commitment. But if she always filed single, I really don't see how he can prove bigamy.\n\n\n\nYou know, your Father is acting irrational. He did NOT make the marriage commitment to this woman, and now expects the same protections under the law. He sounds very possesive, and selfish.

Yes it is. The US recognizes legal marriages from all countries.

Marriage is the act or rite based on a consensual union creating the legal and social status of husband and wife while common-law-marriage refers to the relationship arising out of cohabitation as man and wife, based on an informal agreement to form a marriage relationship, but without any religious or civil ceremony.

Gretna Green in Scotland is the place you are thinking of.  This sort of marriage was made illegal in 1940.

Is Michigan a community property state?\nNo. Michigan is an equitable distribution state which means that the court may distribute any assets of either party in any manner it sees fit. The standard is that the property division must be fair and equitable under all of the circumstances of the case.\n\nhttp://www.divorcenet.com/states/michigan/mifaq06

depends if y'all want the marriage to be legally binding or not. check with your county clerk's office or whatever local office issues marriage licenses.

In Malaysia, there are no such laws.  The people here are very conservative and traditional when it comes to marriage..i.e. man and woman only.  There are homosexual couples, for sure, but they are no provisions for marriage for them.
