Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Common Law Marriage in Florida
Yes thank you for any help. My common law husband and I moved from Rhode Island to Florida after being together for over 25 years. We have lived in Florida for 6 years and I recently heard that Florida does not have common law marriage? Is that true and what should we do if in fact it is true ?
Thank you

Re: Common Law Marriage in Florida
That is correct. Florida does not recognize common law marriages. You need to be more specific as to what the importance of the recognition of that type of marriage will have on your relationship. You can draw up a will that will leave what you want to your partner, for example.
