Bad news is in Connecticut it's all too easy to get "married" just by living together .... I believe 5 years cohabitation makes for a "common-law" marriage here.

Was that the old law?Bad news is in Connecticut it's all too easy to get "married" just by living together .... I believe 5 years cohabitation makes for a "common-law" marriage here.
Looks like it can't happen in Connecticut itself. They'll only recognize it if it happened in another state first.
Is there Common Law Marriage in Connecticut?
Common law marriage is a legal concept where romantic partners who live together for a certain period of time become legally married even though they never have a formal ceremony or get a marriage license.
