California doesn't recognize in state common law marriages. If you are in a common law marriage in a state that allows such marriages, then California would recognize the marriage as valid, but California state law doesn't itself allow for common law marriages.

Also, remember, that if you MOVE to California (i.e. become a California resident), and you were common-law married in your prior state, then California may or may not recognize that prior marriage as valid. California law is more than a bit fuzzy on that point, and it can become a serious problem in cases of divorce or death of a spouse. Virtually all California Family Law lawyers will absolutely recommend that you get an official California Marriage License if you intend to become a California resident.

No. You must wait until your divorce is finalized. The only exception might be if you are applying for domestic partnership in a state where same-sex marriage is not legally recognized and your prior marriage was to someone of the same-sex and therefore void.

Why would a significant other become ineligible for Health Insurance when insured for 2 years prior?

Assuming you are talking about a domestic partner, one reason that pops up here in California is the change in domicile of the policy. You work for a company that offers health care that includes domestic partner coverage. Your company gets purchased by a company in another state that does not extend coverage to domestic partners. The rules of the state the policy is written in cover all employees on that policy, not the rules of the state they reside in.
