Please define me the definition of Common Law relationships?

Question

In muslim countries they do not have this type of definition. I ahve to explain it to a muslim woman from Turkey and make her understand that it is a relatioship where you have your legal rights unlike being just a girl friend or boy friend or mistress thing. She keeps mixing the idea of Common Law relatioships with having a mistress. I had one and left my ex!This muslim person thinks I still have to be at my ex's mercy now since men always have rights over women?!!!?!?

This guy also gave me a ring, proposed to me and wanted to marry me but we had to waite till he had to take divorced from his wife first and I left him. BEcause he was in and out of the hospital I got afraid and left him. I should say Common Law/Fiancee we were together if that makes any sense? I am my self french european and christian but have been harassed by this woman telling me that I was unclean and my son should not have lived by islamic rules!

Yes I lived for 4 years and yes I paid all of my expenses includign my food rent and shelter even when I was pregnant adn could not work out side for a while.He made me pay for every single expenses I ahd and for my little boy too.

Answer 1

2 : the cohabitation of a couple even when it does not constitute a legal marriage

Answer 2

What you are talking about is common law marriage. This is a state law. So depends on where you live. Some states do not have common law marriages. The ones that do certain things need to be met. I suggest you have a consultation with an attorney in your state to determine this. The law in this area is a bit tricky. If you do have a common law marriage then you will have the same rights as if married legally. Worth looking into. In the alternative you need to get child support for your child.

Def of common law marriage occording to tx.....A "common law marriage" is one in which the parties may hold themselves out as a husband and wife, and under certain circumstances, be deemed married without a marriage license or ceremony.

Texas is one of the states that allows the creation of a “common law” marriage, a relationship in which a couple lives together but have not participated in a lawful ceremony. In Texas a couple can acquire marital rights and responsibilities by living together for a particular period of time. You do not need legal action to end such a relationship, if it was created in Texas.

Texas also recognizes as valid, common law marriages created in other states if the legal requirements of those states have been met. As a result, legal action is needed to dissolve legal “common law” marriages performed in other states and foreign countries in compliance with their licensing and ceremonial regulations.

Answer 4

Civil law means law as defined by legislation. Common law means law as defined by judicial precedent. Common law marriages mean an implied marriage after living together some period of time. Common law marriages occur mostly in states that were once French or Spanish territories.

Answer 7

i pretty sure Ohio doesn't recognise common law marriages anymore. i think that ended like 15or 20 yrs ago. but i do know alot of states do have it. and what it means is if you split up it like a divorce you will both have to split everything 50/50. alot depends on what state your in i do know Ohio doesn't consider them anymore.
