Can you get married if you have been in a common law marriage with someone else?
The concept of common law marriage is a difficult one. In the USA the legal status varies from state to state, with most not recognising it. Where they are recognised divorce is usually necessary before a subsequent marriage can be entered into. In England there is no legal status to common law marriage, although the situation is slightly different in Scotland. In short, marriage to someone else is probably legal, but the advice of an attorney/solicitor would be a wise thing to take.

Can common law marriage help you get social security?
nopeThis is incorrect - Social Security has to follow the guidelines of each state. I live in Alabama where common law marriage is recognized. I have a case pending right now. We were married nine years - and divorced. We got back together a year later and kept everything in both our names, and were together a total of 18 years until his sudden death in a car accident. Social Security must recognize common law marriage if the state you live in does. In addition, if you are now living in a state that does not have common law marriage (such as California) but previously resided in a state that does recognize common law marriage and in that state your relationship qualified as a common law marriage, the Social Security Administration will (for S.S.I. and S.S. benefits determination) follow the determination of the state that does call your relationship a common law marriage- even if you now reside in a state that doesn't recognize common law marriage.
