 Question . . What is "Common Law Marriage" and are there states that recognize "Common Law Marriage"?

Common Law Marriage is a LEGAL concept that applies to couples who are in a relationship that has the appearance of a marriage, but hasn't formally sanctioned by the state (such a the issuance of a Certificate of Marriage).  A valid common law marriage typically confers both the benefits and obligations of a formal marriage.

Courts most often apply the rules of common law marriage in situations where one partner dies without a will and the other claims there was a common law marriage so as to inherit property under interstate succession lawns.  These laws automatically give a share of the property to a spouse, but may not recognize an unmarried partner.

Which States Recognize Common Law Marriage Now?

Colorado

Iowa

Kansas

Montana

New Hampshire

Oklahoma

Rhode Island

Texas

Utah 

Washington, DC also permits common law marriages.

  When you are having a wedding or renewal of vows on a Sarasota County beach or in a Sarasota County park, you need to get "an event permit" also known as "a beach wedding permit".  Why?  Because you are conducting "personal business" on property managed or maintained by the Sarasota County Parks and Recreation Department.

Permit can be obtained via the Parks and Recreation Department.  Call 941-861-7275, Monday - Friday, 830AM - 4PM.  You can obtain a permit over the phone with a credit card.

Before you call the Parks and Recreation Department, you will need to know the date of your ceremony, the time of your ceremony, the exact location of your ceremony and approximately how many people will be participating or attending this event.  You will also be asked if you plan to set up an archway and/or chairs or decorate the area. 

The photo above is Reserve Site # 1 at Venice Beach, Venice, FL.  This ceremony took place at 9AM on a Sunday morning.
