*Are you speaking me me, Pachyderm? If you were being snide to me, it was a mistake. because you have once again proved the nature of the ''beast''. Your informaion most likely came from Wikipedia, a nortoriously inaccurate and biased site. The following States recognize and give legal rights to Common Law marriages:
Alabama<br>
Colorado<br>
District of Columbia<br>
Georgia (if created before 1/1/97)<br>
Idaho (if created before 1/1/96)<br>
Iowa<br>
Kansas<br>
Montana<br>
New Hampshire (for inheritance purposes only)<br>
Ohio (if created before 10/10/91)<br>
Oklahoma<br>
Pennsylvania<br>
Rhode Island<br>
South Carolina<br>
Texas<br>
Utah<br>[http://www.nolo.com/article.cfm/pg/2/objectId/709FAEE4-ABEA-4E17-BA34836388313A3C/catId/697DBAFE-20FF-467A-9E9395985EE7E825/118/304/192/FAQ/]
So while it might be legally inaccurate to refer to them as Common Law in New York, for purposes of communicating their status to readers, it was an accurate term to use. As for rendering decades, please state your authority.
