Common Law

Its called a Common Law Marriage but to be considered part of a common law marriage there are certain criteria. I think it varies between states. I know that in Texas a common law marriage carries just a much weight as if you had a civil ceremonial marriage. You might try to look on your states e-government site.

It would be called common law marriage if your state recognizes that.

Sounds like you are talking about common-law marriage. But that only occurs in certain states, and under certain circumstances. You'd best consult an attorney.
