Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

Re: common law marriage

Whether his marriage is legal would be determined by Nevada law. To be certain you are not married, you can divorce him. If he raises the issue that you are not married, the court will determine whether you are.

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client

relationship, unless a written retainer agreement

is executed by the attorney and client. This

communication contains general information only.

Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client

communication nor legal advice. There likely are

deadlines and time-limits associated with your

case; you should contact an attorney of your

choice for legal advice specific to your personal

situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

The site contains quite a bit of general

information about California Family Law, Tenants'

Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, and EDD

hearings and appeals, as well as information

about me (education, experience, et cetera)

and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

If any of the states you mentioned recognized your common

law marriage, California will too. Otherwise it won't.

To be on the safe side, file for divorce and let

the court decide if your were married.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with

us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.
