• Common law marriage: parties who are living together for a certain period of time, and who may identify themselves as “married”, but who have never had a legal marriage ceremony. California does not recognize common law marriages, but does, under certain circumstances, recognize palimony. http://www.premaritalmediation.com/pdf/marvin_case.pdf
