Common Law Marriage
Family Law Attorneys - Common Law Marriage Lawyers in Atlanta
& Georgia
Although common law marriages were abolished in Georgia in 1997, any
common law marriage entered into before that date is still valid in
the state of Georgia. In order to have a valid common law marriage,
several pre-requisites must be met. The most important factor tends
to be that the parties have a mutual agreement to hold themselves
out to the world as husband and wife. Because of the nature of proof
of this arrangement can be difficult, it is important to seek the
assistance of a family law attorney, like those at Meriwether &
Tharp, if you believe your factual circumstances warrant treatment
as a common law marriage.
If you are able to prove that you have a common law marriage, then
you are afforded the same rights and treatment under the law as any
other married couples. This can be a major factor in a limited
number of cases, such as those involving questions about premarital
property.
You can rely on Meriwether & Tharp
to guide you through difficult divorce and family law situations. To
