Description

The Colorado Affidavit of Common Law Marriage serves as an important legal document for couples who wish to formalize their relationship under common law marriage in Colorado. This form requires that both parties attest they are at least 18 years old, or have parental consent if aged 16 to 18, and confirms there are no legal impediments to their union. It states that the couple is married in the eyes of the law and holds all rights and responsibilities typical of a legal marriage, which can only be terminated by death or divorce. Key features of the form include spaces for signatures, printed names, and the address of both parties, as well as a section for a notary public to validate the document. Filling out this form involves careful completion of personal information and obtaining notarization to ensure authenticity. This affidavit is particularly useful for individuals and couples who want to assert their marital status without a traditional marriage ceremony. Target audiences such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can find this form beneficial for establishing common law marriage in legal contexts, facilitating the rights associated with marriage, and ensuring proper documentation for any legal proceedings.
