Re: Am I Married? Beginning on July 1, 1997, common law marriages are no longer recognized in Georgia; however, if you were common law spouses before that date, your marriage is legally recognized by Georgia. In order to have a valid common law marriage prior to the date already mentioned, you must satisfy three requirements and consummate the relationship by cohabitation. In sum, you both have to hold yourselves out as husband and wife before the world. If you need to know the specifics of the statute, it is in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. I hope this has provided some information for you at least.
