Glen is correct, however, if you properly established your common law marriage BEFORE January 1, 1997 and have been living together as man and wife for 19 years (for example. you established being married anytime from June,1, 1996 through December 31. 1996) then according to your "living together for 19-years" statement, you are/were married under the "old" Georgia laws

Good luck
