Common Law Marriage: How to Legally End What Was Never Officially Begun
Texas is one of a few states that recognize common law marriages. A common law marriage, also known as an “informal marriage” in Texas, is a legal union between two people who live together and present themselves as a married couple without going through a formal ceremony or obtaining a marriage license. However, cohabiting is not enough; the couple must meet specific requirements to be considered married under common law.
Understanding the intricacies of common law marriage in Texas is crucial for protecting your legal rights, especially when trying to end a common law marriage. By seeking legal counsel, you can ensure that your rights are protected and the legal proceedings are handled correctly when navigating this complex process. Learn More .
