Some Issues in A Utah Common Law Marriage

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.

Lets 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?
