To form a common law marriage in any state you must satisfy specific rules.
1. You have introduced yourselves, both man and woman, as being married to friends and family.
2. You receive mail to your address that shows the female taking on the Sir name of the male.
3. In many states in order to complete the Common Law marriage requirements you also must spend a specific amount of time together as well.
4. If your asking about a common law marriage I am guessing that you are the one seeking to get out of the relationship and not pay support? Usually the males ask this question in case the females make claims of a common law marriage.
If you are married and male you must also have feelings of being hen pecked, griped at and complaints of all types must flow from the females lips on you being lazy, stubborn or unwilling to understand her physical and emotional needs.
Ignore #4 , this is where this degenerates into a misogynistic rant.
