You will have to establish the fact of a common law marrige in the law. Just saying so won't do it. Unmarried partners cannot get health insurance with their partners in most instances.
Filing a declaration of common law marriage with the county clerk in the county in which you reside in a state which recognizes common law marriages is one answer.
