Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Common Law Marraige
Hello,
I live in Colorado where I am in a relationship that qualifies under colorado law as a common law marraige, which is official for all things that a standard marraige is according to state law. My health insurance benifits at my company have changed and are now provided by a company in Florida. My significant other has been denied health insurance through my company on the premise that Florida is not a common law state. My question is, is it true that Florida is not a common law state and is it my place of residence or the insurance providers place of buisness that dictates the laws governing this sort of coverage. Thank you for you help.

Re: Common Law Marraige
I regret I cannot provide you with an answer that is dependent on Colorado law. Suffice it to say that common law marriages are no longer a valid method of achieving wedded bliss in Florida. It would seem,and legal advice is not intended in any manner, that if you are wed, that your legal spouse is entitled to all the benefits that are appurtenant to that status.
