Common Law Marriage
Definition
This category concerns the definition, options, and process of a common law marriage -- in which a couple lives together for a period of time, hold them out to others as 'being married', but have not formally gone through the process of getting a marriage license. Not all states recognize common law marriages, and they have different requirements for establishing this type of marriage.
