Alabama Social Security Office I've Been Told I'm Common Law Married To The Person I Live With Just Because We Have A Kid Together. True?

I've been told i'm common law married to the person i live with just because we have a kid together. True? - alabama social security office

My boyfriend and I live together and have a child together. We have no plans to marry or to consider ourselves married, but I was informed by the Office for Social Security in Alabama, when we live together, and also a child that we are automatically considered married. Does anyone know if this is true?

Not married. Sorry if it has mininformed.

Read the link I posted. It has a very clear definition, which speaks specifically of the law in Alabama.

"When a man and a woman marry with the intention may marry, although he never said" I. "The attempt, Ala., is the intention of the parties. Words are no special ceremony is not necessary for a valid marriage under the common law is. More precisely, the necessary elements for a common law marriage: (a) the capacity (both spouses must be at least 14 years and mentally), (b) of this Agreement or by mutual consent to marriage, (c) the public recognition the existence of the marriage (who call each other "my husband" and "woman"), and (d) cohabitation or sharing openly rights and obligations of marriage. "[2]

A valid marriage at common law, it must do so by mutual agreement between the parties man and wife, followed by cohabitation and live together as husband and wife. "

Alabama
A valid marriage is actually AL, if its capacity for marriage, men and women at least 16 laws and parental consent agreement or consent of husband and wife must be public recognition of the existence of marriage and her coronation. Waller v. Waller, 567 So.2d 869 (Ala.Civ.App. 1990). See also Hudson v. Hudson, 404 So.2d 82 (Ala.Civ.App. 1981). (Alabama Attorney General - FAQ: marriage / divorce).

If you live together for a certain time (we think the law of more than 6 months and are in a relationship) or the child are not common. Some people believe it is 7 years, but it is not. Everything that is 7 years FoIP and records of someone.

There are tax advantages if one of you does not work and the care of child.It would be in your best interest to file jointly.

Alabama is a state common law marriage.

To be considered married in Alabama, the following must occur:

Capacity 1)

2) An agreement to men and women

3) The consummation of the marriage.

So it looks as if she is married.

Ask any other recipients of social security. Alabama is a state that recognizes common law marriages, and what are the requirements? Most long-term recipients of social security are well informed about the fine print of the game.

Not true. No one can force you two get married. States that permit marriage at common law have needs that vary from state to state, but one thing they all have in common is that both parties want to get married.

No, and you get nothing if he dies, if you have no right, is more than a piece of paper is a contract! There were people with 3kids and 30 years together and I thought it was not so

varies from state to state, some states do not recognize common law marriages, while others say they must live together for 7 years. Thus, in all likely hood "married" under the laws of Alabama.

Refer to the laws of Alabama. Some states recognize, after they lived together for many years (usually 7), some states do not recognize cohabitation. Each state has its own laws on this subject.
