Legal Answers
- Q. I can't get an arbiter to provide a final order after 6 mos. Her dad died and I think she isn't in the proper mind now

Common law marriage is defined as (1) over the age of 18; (2)holding yourselves out to the public as being married; and (3) having the intent to be married. Courts look to insurance policies, taxes, etc., but I bet when your significant other says that he wouldn't sign the certificate because he did not want to be married, then that cuts against intent. Additionally, the tax documents and insurance policies, etc., on top of other witnesses ... Read More
