Most states have laws in place to protect the rights of couples who have chosen to live together without getting married. These laws vary from state to state and deal with a variety of different scenarios.
Many states do have laws that provide for couples who live together as if they were married, even though no formal ceremony has taken place. Commonly known as "common-law marriages", parties who live together and behave as a married couple can often assume the same rights and benefits of couples who have walked down the aisle.
