  1. Some Issues in A Utah Common Law Marriage

  2. What is A Common Law Marriage? Not all relationships look the same and many couples do not go through the traditional route of marriage. In fact, one of the reasons cited for the lower divorce rates in the US is the fact that some people, particularly millennials, are simply choosing not to get married to their partners. Many people end up with what is called a common law marriage.

  3. Let’s Know Something About Common Law Marriage Now, we need to point out that officially, common law marriages are not even a thing in Utah. However, people who have been in a long-term relationship may have the option to petition the court to recognize their relationship as a marriage. But what happens when a long-term couple decides to separate and they are not officially married?
