FAQs
How long do we have to live together to have a common law marriage in Alabama?
Common law marriages are valid in Alabama. However, there is no time requirement for the existence of a common law marriage. Common law marriage is based on such factors as the intent of the parties to be married and the recognition of the marriage by the general public. If you only occasionally represent yourselves as husband and wife, but most people know that you are not married, then no marriage exists. If you regularly act as if you are married and all your neighbors think that you are married, then you probably have a common law marriage.
Can I get a divorce based on abandonment?
No. To get a divorce based on abandonment in Alabama, your spouse must have been gone for at least one year before you file for divorce. The good news is that Alabama is a no fault divorce state. That means that you do not have to wait for a year to file if you request a divorce based upon the ground of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Because of the availability of no fault grounds, divorces are rarely requested in Alabama based upon abandonment anymore.
Will it affect the outcome of my divorce if I do?
Yes. If you move out, it can affect the outcome of your divorce. Depending on the facts of your case, the court can decide that you have a lesser need for the marital residence if you can afford to set up a separate residence. The court can also view it as if your spouse has a greater interest in the marital residence since your spouse cared enough to stay. If you have an interest in the residence, then fight for it.
Can my spouse get it in the divorce?
Possibly. If separate property is used for the benefit of the marriage, it can become marital property. The court will look at several factors when determining whether to award an interest to your spouse. One of these factors is the length of the marriage.
What can I do?
To get a child support reduction, you must file a request with the Alabama divorce court. It is important to file as soon as possible. The court cannot go back earlier than the date of filing to reduce your child support obligation on these grounds. Therefore, each month that passes means additional money that you owe.
