Contrary to popular belief, NOT one state in the US pronounces a couple to be in a common law marriage after living together for ANY certain time period. Currently only 9 states recognized common law marriages. Each of these states has certain requirements, however, non of the states require a set period of cohabitation. All states do require public reputation and declaration as a married couple.
When a common law married couple wishes to no longer be married, they must get a legal divorce, just as a couple who married with a license must do.
