The age is 18 without permission from a parent or your legal guardian. If under the age of 16, the law requires that the couple receives a court order before being allowed to marry.

In Texas both the male and female have to be at least 18 to get married without permission. With parental permission you can get married at 16 or 17. Under 16 requires a court order.

Are you supposed to file your taxes as married if you are in a common law marriage or can you file single if you are not legally married but use his last name?

According to the Government, you are either Married, commonlaw, single or widowed. When filing, there will be a box to tick off. Tick off commonlaw. You do not have a legal binding contract to each other. In the event you both split up (I hope you don"t), you would NOT have to seek a divorce. Simple, You are NOT married. Do not file as such. If caught you have lied on a federal document. ThanksAnswerThere are some states that do not even honor commonlaw marriage. If my memory recalls me right there are alot of them that do not. So ensure you go online and put in commonlaw marriage into the Google search to bring up states that do and do not honor common law marriage. When filing with another individual you might want to ensure that they do not have any outstanding child support orders or liens pending because very possibly your income tax check may get taken. Check these individuals about before you go connecting yourself and all your assets to someone else. Personlly unless I am married to someone there is no way I would connect myself legally expecially when it comes to taxes and IRS. In the event the relationship doesn't work out down the line we can both go our separate ways with no unnecessary drama. Good Luck!
