Contrary to popular belief, a common law marriage is not created when two people simply live together for a certain number of years. In order to have a valid common law marriage, the couple must do all of the following:
- live together for a significant period of time (not defined in any state)
- hold themselves out as a married couple -- typically this means using the same last name, referring to the other as "my husband" or "my wife," and filing a joint tax return, and
- intend to be married.

There is no such thing as "enforceable" common-law. Common law evolved long ago into statute law and it is the provisions of statute law with which courts must contend with today. Statute law (especially in the English-speaking countries of the world) is based on common law but no such 'common law' survives today which is not codified and set forth in statute law. Common law is NOT legally enforceable.
