在美國不是每個州都有事實婚姻的。 我所在的Virginia 就不承認common law marriage.
Virginia does not recognize common law marriage12345. Couples cannot acquire marital rights and responsibilities by living together for a particular period of time2. Any financial obligations or division of jointly owned property must be set out by express agreement and enforced through contract law1. As of October 1, 2016, common law marriage is officially abolished in Virginia5. To be considered married in Virginia, a couple must obtain a marriage license and perform a ceremony conducted by a judge, a qualified minister, or any individual authorized by the court to do so4.
