Texas is the same way. You only have to give others the "assumption" of marriage by referring to another person as the spouse, and bam...common law marriage.
I really believe that unless there are exestential circumstances, a mandatory period of marital counseling should be required. I think more marriages would be saved. I also believe that the courts should be as strict as they were 30/40 years ago on divorce. Its not that everyone should remain married, but everyone should have a fighting chance to save their marriage (with the obvious exceptions)
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
