1. there's no common law marriage in California.
2. a common law marriage isn't just foisted upon a couple by the gov't after a certain amount of time spent in cohabitation. if anything certain state govts will recognize a 'common law marriage' only after the couple at issue claims the existence of such a 'marriage'. and there are several elements the couple must prove before the state will recognize the marriage. those elements vary by state.
