You can check online for this info. Assuming that KS is the state in question, a common law marriage is a marriage by agreement of the 2 people without ant formal ceremony or license. A common law marriage will be recognized if the couple considers themselves to be married and publicly holds themselves out to be married and if they are legally eligible to marry.
