Hi! I will be the professional that will be helping you today. I look forward to providing you with information to help solve your problem.

New Jersey does not have common law marriage. A couple cannot acquire marital rights and responsibilities by living together for a particular period of time and would need to be married, for the relationship to be recognized as husband and wife.
