Common Law Marriage States

"Currently, only 9 states (Alabama, Colorado, Kansas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas) and the District of Columbia recognize common-law marriages contracted within their borders. In addition, five states have "grandfathered" common law marriage (Georgia, Idaho, Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania) allowing those established before a certain date to be recognized. New Hampshire recognizes common law marriage only for purposes of probate, and Utah recognizes common law marriages only if they have been validated by a court or administrative order."

The state of Florida doesn't recognize common law marriage after January 1, 1968. Florida will recognize a common law marriage occurring before 1/1/1968 in Florida or a common law marriage established in a state that does recognize it as such and the couple moves to Florida. If that is the case then you are entitled to the same rights as a couple who are married under statutory law.
