Is it necessary that we both live in the same state? I live in New Jersey and he lives in New York. We have a child together and would like to get married, but without the huge church ceremony... that could come later. How do we get married at the Town Hall?

It varies from county to county let alone state to state. Call the place where you intend to marry & they will give you all the info.
You will both have to be present with ID.
Some require at least one of you be a resident of their state.
I'm doing a wedding in KY next week & both are from Ohio.
KY's license allows you to get married anywhere in their state, resident or not.
In Ohio if you are a resident, you buy the licesne in the county in which you live. If a non-resident, you buy the license in the county in which you plan to be married.

Call the clerk of courts and ask them what is needed to apply for the license .. You do not have to live in the same state BUT where ever you are applying one of you have to be a resident of the state... I know in Florida both parties have to be there when applying for the license , I am not sure how NY or NJ is but the best thing to do is call them and ask that way you won't waste your time going there.
Congrats and good luck

I think you just need to get the marriage license in the state in which you will be married.

first of all the two one in each and every of you're rather youthful. it variety of sounds like he's making an attempt to place you in a difficulty of marrying you in hopes of tying you down, and you no longer being waiting as much as now absolutely everyone else mutually as he's away at school. additionally, he could properly be annoyed in case you're sticking to the no intercourse rule. i could say decide for it, yet there does not look any concrete plans in place. i could desire to confirm in case you will have been the two saving money mutually and interior of a year or so which you and your daughter could flow there. How generally do you get to confirm one yet another? i think of you may desire to talk with him approximately this, because of the fact it fairly is obtrusive which you have some reservations approximately this, and you have greater to think of roughly than basically your self. in case you talk with him and he gets rather disillusioned, and exceedingly much to the factor of in all hazard breaking it off, perhaps it rather is optimal which you permit him bypass. If that occurs, you may desire to apply this time to concentration on you and your daughter and set up your self.

My husband and I both lived in NJ and we were married in NYC, we just had to bring our birth certs and ss cards to the courthouse. All you need to do is call the courthouse in the county you want to marry in, it doesnt matter where you live, you dont have to live in the county you marry in.
Good luck!

Call your local county clerk. In my area, we got our license in the county we lived in, even though we were getting married in another, & we just had to show proof that one of us lived in the county.
