It depends where you live. In Canada, it is six months before a couple should list married on tax forms, government loans, insurance etc. Of course, if you don't claim common law status for whatever reason, you don't have to worry about it. It's not like they're going to sent inspectors making sure that you're not having sex with your room mate!

Common law marriage does not apply any more. It use to be that if you lived with someone for seven years then you were legally married. That law no longer applies for obvious reasons.

it depends on certain states and the fact is i am sure that you have to go and file down in court for this also. you can' just say oh i am common law now.

Each state has their own separate laws so it depends where you live.
