Is our marriage valid?

According to his ex and mother of his children, they are "common law" married. However, we just got married so I was wondering if she (the ex) can get a lawyer to prove they are indeed common law married.
Any advice would help.


    




Just me
I'm not really sure what they need to prove this but my brother went through this and I know the woman he was with did take him to court and they found them to be common law married. So he had to get a divorce from her before he could marry another. Best would be to talk to a lawyer about this or one that has actually been through it in the state you are from. Good luck :-)

a majority of the states no longer recognize common law marriages. you would have to check with your local court house and see what the laws are where you live. the states that do still recognize it, you have to live with the person for 7 years and file joint tax returns. use to be in some states if you signed into a motel/hotel as mr & mrs you were legally married. check your local laws.

"Common law" marriages are not marriages. Have your husband that he has common law divorced her. If they are not living together (which is what I assume) then they are not common law married anyway.
