  1. Does Utah Recognize Common-Law Marriage?

  2. The state of Utah does not recognize so-called “common-law” marriages. However, Utah allows individuals, couples, or even third parties to petition the court to recognize a relationship as a marriage, even absent a traditional marriage ceremony. The court can approve or deny the petition at its discretion. Once the court issues its decree, then the relationship is formally recognized as a marriage.

  3. There are several reasons that you might have for wishing to have your relationship legally recognized in the state of Utah. You may have split up and are looking to divide your property legally; the petitioner can file both a petition to recognize a relationship as a marriage and a divorce petition at the same time. Perhaps you need this type of recognition in order to claim insurance, retirement, survivor, or public benefits or to inherit property.

  4. What Conditions Must Be Met? Before the court can approve a petition to have a relationship recognized as a marriage, certain conditions must be met. Petitioners must be prepared to provide evidence that the relationship constitutes a marriage because it is between two people:
