How Long Do You Have to Be Together to Be Common Law Married in Las Vegas?

The fair question to ask would probably be this:

“Are you legally married after living together for 7 years in the State of Nevada?”

Today an unprecedented portion of millennials will remain unmarried through age 40, a recent Urban Institute report predicted.

The marriage rate might drop to 70 percent — a figure well below rates for boomers (91 percent), late boomers (87 percent) and Gen Xers (82 percent).

So most people these days, choose to not marry, but just live together.

(Some folks call it “SHACKING UP!”)

Many times, older folks that may not want to give up their Social Security Benefits choose not to marry as well for obvious reasons.

However, it does NOT mean you are married after a certain amount of years together.

Very few states have a common-law marriage law and Nevada does NOT recognize common-law marriages in any form.

To be legally married you must obtain a Marriage License and go through a legal Ceremony.

If you are unmarried and have children together, you must obtain an order of custody, visitation, child support, medical coverage, etc., through the District Court Family Division if you decide to go your separate ways and terminate your relationship.

If you are unmarried and have bills and property together, those issues must be settled in a different court and not with the family court system.

Here at Vegas Divorce Pros, we can help you with whatever your situation may be with the proper paperwork and guidance.
