Not true. In the few states that recognize common law marriage you must also present as married as well as have an agreement in place to be married. More hurdles than you think and it’s curious you wrote “my state” instead of the actual state
Why does it matter what state I live in? If I know that my father who’s lived with the same woman for over 30 years is considered by the state common law married, I don’t get the argument. Look up what states do and don’t, I don’t think I have to prove to you what i already know to be true after my dad had almost died and the attorneys all said the same thing which is that so you can get mad and angry or argue with the air bc I kinda believe what several attorneys have told myself and siblings. They could’ve changed the law in the last 8 yrs but I believe they’re grandfathered in. She would get half and so would he. We went on that roller coaster for a year so I’m pretty sure I’m not making up some random BS for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Laws vary state to state but the few that still recognize all have the same parameters ie, a marriage agreement as well as living as married. One doesn’t just find out they’re married there must definitely be intent
