Common Law Marriage
Although California does not recognize Common-Law Marriage, for the purposes of MC, any out-of-state marriage between individuals is valid as long as it is valid where it was contracted or performed. In cases in which there was no formal marriage, it may be that a common-law marriage was established in another state. For the purpose of MC eligibility, common-law marriages are treated the same way as regular marriages. Common-Law Marriages can be verified by any formal documentation or by sworn statement.
