[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2752046, member: 15253"] I don't believe the state has done away with common law marriage. Basically, if the couple in question sees themselves as a couple, they will make some public declaration of same--such as, buying cars or property with both names on the deed/title, or getting bills, checking accounts, etc in both names, registering at a hotel with both names signed, or filing a joint tax return. Any of these things, or, indeed, any of the things listed in the post by Coded-Dude above, indicate that the couple in question consider themselves man and wife and have publicly declared the same. That is the test that the state looks for. In your buddy's case, he was probably careful not to make a public declaration of the kind enumerated above. [/QUOTE]
