NEBRASKA Part 42

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE


If you live with your boyfriend or girlfriend in Nebraska but do not take out a marriage license or have a wedding, you are not married. Not even if you live together for seven years or more. If, however, you move to a state which does recognize a common law marriage as valid and then move back to Nebraska, you may have a valid marriage in Nebraska. The requirements for common law marriage are different from state to state. If you have a valid common law marriage and then you split up, you need to get a divorce to end the marriage.
