Is ny considered recognized as a common law state?

Answer 1

"Currently, only 9 states (Alabama, Colorado, Kansas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas) and the District of Columbia recognize common-law marriages contracted within their borders. In addition, five states have "grandfathered" common law marriage (Georgia, Idaho, Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania) allowing those established before a certain date to be recognized. New Hampshire recognizes common law marriage only for purposes of probate, and Utah recognizes common law marriages only if they have been validated by a court or administrative order."

Answer 2

New York is a common law state as opposed to a civil law state like Louisiana This means that the underlying basis for its legal system is grounded in the common law system of early England. "Civil law" is grounded in the early French system. In this context "civil law" does not have the same meaning as it does when it is used to distinguish criminal law from non-criminal law.

Answer 3

No. New york does NOT recognize such a bond.

IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE THAT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE COMMON LAW MARRIAGE, there is no way to form a common law marriage, no matter how long you live with your partner.

However, there is one possible catch: if you moved from, or spent enough time in, a state that does recognize common law marriage (i.e.: "hold yourself out as married") and then return or move to a state that doesn't recognize it, you will still be considered married in the common-law state. Since all states recognize marriages that are valid or occurred in other states, New York MIGHT accept your status as 'married.'

However, this is a murky area of the law and it is not recommended that you experiment with it!
