How long do you have to live with someone to become his common law partner or domestic partner in California?
California doesn't recognize in state common law marriages. If you are in a common law marriage in a state that allows such marriages, then California would recognize the marriage as valid, but California state law doesn't itself allow for common law marriages. Also, remember, that if you MOVE to California (i.e. become a California resident), and you were common-law married in your prior state, then California may or may not recognize that prior marriage as valid. California law is more than a bit fuzzy on that point, and it can become a serious problem in cases of divorce or death of a spouse. Virtually all California Family Law lawyers will absolutely recommend that you get an official California Marriage License if you intend to become a California resident.
