Detailed Advice on the Many Factors of a Common Law Marriage

Common-law marriage refers to the legal union of couples who have cohabitated the same dwelling for an extended period of time but have not undergone an official marriage ceremony. While Florida no longer recognizes the validity of common law marriages entered into after 1968, the state may recognize common law marriages entered into in states that recognize the practice.

At the law firm of Michael J. Griffith, P.A., our Crestview common law marriage lawyers offer detailed advice on a wide range of issues relating to the end of a common-law union, including:

• Division of property and debts
• Child custody issues
• Child support matters
• Spousal maintenance and alimony

By carefully examining your specific case and your unique concerns, we work to offer the information you need to understand Florida’s view on common-law marriages and the rights you have under the laws.
