13200557, What's the common law status in America? Posted by denny, Fri Oct-06-17 05:33 PM
Does it vary much from state to state?
In Canada....after living together for one year you are considered common law and all the same rules apply as if you are effectively married in terms of family court (alimony, seperation settlements, etc).
From what people are posting...it sounds like Marraige entails more legal ramifications than simply shacking up with someone.
