What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
My fiance' and I are common-law married. I have no question about that. My question is can we make our coomon law marriage legal with a marriage license with the date we entered into common law marriage? We have a document signed by both of us(not notarized) stating that we consider ourselves to be married and that we intend to legally marry some day. Can we get a marriage license dated with the date of this document or do we have to get a marriage license and go with the new date? Would we then only have been considered married from this point on or do the years of the common law marriage get added to the date on the marriage license?
