My response:

Missouri doesn't have Common Law marriage. However, it will recognize a Common Law marriage if you were married in another State (see below) that is a Common Law marriage State.

States that Recognize Common Law Marriages:

Alabama
Colorado
Washington, D.C.
Georgia (if the marriage was entered into prior to January 1, 1997)
Idaho (if the marriage was entered into prior to January 1, 1996)
Iowa
Kansas
Montana
New Hampshire (recognizes the marriage only for inheritance purposes)
Ohio (if the marriage was entered into prior to October 10, 1991)
Oklahoma
