How long must a couple live together in Florida to be considered married?

Question

How long must a couple live together in Florida to be considered married?



Answer

Living together never equals a marriage. We have no common law marriage in Florida. To be "married" in Florida you must have a marriage license and it must be signed by a personal authorized to perform a marriage ceremony.



Answer

A couple will not be considered married in Florida without a marriage license, regardless of how long they have lived together. To get a divorce in Florida at least one of the parties must reside in Florida for at least 6 months.
