At one time, Georgia recognized a informal type of legal union known as common law marriage. That ended on Jan 1, 1997. O.C.G.A. §19-3-1. However, if you were in a relationship prior to that date, you may qualify for a common law marriage if you meet the following requirements:
The three requirements for a valid common-law marriage in Georgia:
(1) the parties must be able to contract;
(2) there must be an actual contract; and
(3) there must be consummation according to law (O.C.G.A. §19-3-1).

It depends on what you are asking. If you are asking about common law marriage, which seems to be the most frequent use of the phrase common law, the answer is yes and no. A couple who established themselves as common law married before the Georgia legislature required official marriage - some time in 1997, I believe - is recognized as married. Any unofficially established relationship since then is not.
Georgia is a common law state for most purposes, although like most states much of the common law has been codified. This allows easy reference to statutes rather than hundreds of years of case law for lawyers and judges; however, judge-made law may affect the interpretation of such statutes still.

What is a Christians beliefs in birth death and marriage?
Christians differ in some of these beliefs, but what I answer is what I and fellow evangelical Christians believe: Christians believe that birth is a miracle, and the birth of a child is a gift from God to their parents. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" is a ray of hope for Christians regarding death. Life on Earth is temporary, and death is simply passing on to meet the Father. Marriage is where many issues come up and a debate can start. Marriage, as the Bible defines it, is a sacred between 1 MAN and 1 WOMAN. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about that. Marriage is a sacred sybmol of Christ's relationship with the church (his bride).
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.
