I need some info on common law, how can i get it done?

Answer 1

I would recommend going to a local law library (and local law school will have one) and using some of the treatises on law. Treatises give the generally accepted rules for the various issues in law and the notable exceptions to those rules. Additionally, they will list important cases from the Supreme Court, the Circuits, and sometimes even by state. It's always a good starting point.

That or you could hire an attorney.

Answer 2

I'm assuming you are talking about common law marriage because common law is a legal system in which judges have the authority and duty to decide what the law is when there is no other authoritative statement of the law.

As far as common law marriage it varies from state to state on the length of time you need to be living together and some states do not even recognize common law marriage.

Answer 3

Frederick William Maitland wrote some excellent treatises on English common law. They include:

Forms of Action at Common Law (available used for less than $10)

History of English Law

Domesday Book and Beyond

History of English Law before Edward I

English Law and the Renaissance

Answer 4

Do a search on the Internet with the name of the state and + "common law".

Not the same in all states, some don't recognize it (Calif. for instance does not).

Answer 5
