Virginia does not recognize common law marriage. This means that you and your unmarried partner's duties and obligations regarding parenting and property aren't specified unless you have a written cohabitation agreement.

Virginia does not have common law marriage. No duties or obligations arise between two adults by living together in the same household unless such duties or obligation are set out by express agreement.
