Best Answer

A marriage is considered common law after 7 years, but the disadvantage of a common law marriage is that you are not protected under the laws of a marriage that comes with getting married. It is smarter to get married and have the protection of laws of inheritance, support, retirement, and credit that comes with marriage.
