If you are 46 and your boyfriend is 24 can you get illegally married in Maine?
There are many kinds of illegal marriages. One common kind is bigamy, the crime of marrying someone when still married to another. The process (not recommended) of illegally marrying your boyfriend would be to first marry someone else and then, without divorcing that husband, marry your boyfriend. Such a bigamous marriage is likely illegal in any U.S. state at any age.

Filed married on income tax but only common law do you need a divorce because you have broken up?
Many people misunderstand what a common law marriage is. The conventional wisdom is that it is just a polite term for shacking up together. Few states recognize common law marriages. If you happen to be a resident of one of those states and you meet the state's requirements for a common law marriage, you are legally married just as much as if you had gone before a preacher or a justice of the peace and said "I do." A common law marriage is not just a temporary living arrangement until you get bored with it and decide to split up. It is a legally binding marriage. And there is no such thing as a common law divorce. If you have actually entered into a common law marriage in a state where it is recognized, you stay married until you get a divorce decree from a judge. If you break up and don't get a divorce, you will be committing bigamy if you get married again and your new marriage will be null and void. For tax purposes, you can file as married only if you are in a legally recognized marriage (including a legally recognized common law marriage). If you didn't enter into the marriage in a state where common law marriage is recognized, you cannot file as married even if you happen to think of yourself as married (or common law married). If you were not legally married (common law or otherwise), you need to amend the tax returns where you filed as married. If you had a legal common law marriage, then the only way to end it is with a divorce and you need to keep filing as a married person (either jointly or separately) until you have such a divorce.
Is monogamy legal in the US?
Yes. There is nothing stopping you from having many partners. However, you may only legally marry one person at a time. If you marry more than one, you are guilty of bigamy, trigamy, and so on. However, be cautious of your state's bigamy laws... Some bigamy laws also apply to 'common law' marriages, meaning that if the public percieves you to be married to multiple partners or if you live with multiple partners, even if you are technically not married, then you can still be convicted. The good news (at least for those who want to practice polygamy) is that most states don't have the money or time to search out and convict people for bigamy, they have plenty of murderers, rapists, child abusers, and so forth to go after.

What is Common law marriage in SC?
NC does not allow common-law marriage, therefore you cannot enter into a common-law marriage in the state of NC. However, if you previously lived in another state that allowed common-law marriage (very few states do), and you were considered common-law married in that state, and you then later moved to NC, NC will recognize your common-law married status.
If you were in a common law marriage and moved to a state that did not recognize the marriage and legally married another would you be a bigamist?
No. There would be no common law marriage even if allowed by state law. Generally, in all states of the US and most provinces of Canada, if one party is legally married they cannot establish a common law marriage with another spouse even if common law marriage is recognized by the state. Once a person is legally married they cannot marry again until their marriage is dissolved legally by a divorce.The Canadian Province of Saskatchewan is the only jurisdiction in the Western World that allows an individual to form a common law marriage while married civilly to another person. It is assumed Saskatchewan also allows civilly married people to remarry without a legal divorce.
