Yes. This is because of the full-faith-and-credit clause of the constitution.

Yes. If your CL marriage was established in a state that recognizes CL then you move you are still CL. Other states who don't allow for the establishment of CL do acknowledge CL marriages established in other states that do.
States that allow common law marriages to be established w/ in it's borders: Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah
Common Law marriage is the same as regular marriage, but it has no formal paperwork.

Every state has it's laws about things of that nature. You should check with the county court house about it. some states do not recognize common law marriage at all.

I hope so. I'm from Illinois, my husband and I were married in Florida, but we both live in Germany. Let me know when you find out. J/K. Yes, you're still married.

common law does not really apply anymore today, to some state things, yes, but most legal issues, no, and if you moved, then no, you are not married.

I don't believe there are any states that recognize common law marriage anymore.
