"In order to enter into a vaility marriage in Texas, whether ceremonial or common law, the parties must possess the requisite capacity to marry. In order to establish a valid marriage in Texas, the parties must:

Be a man and woman (Texas Family Code §2.001 and §2.401);

Not have been divorced within the past thirty days [Texas Family Code §2.002];

Not be presently married to a third party [Texas Family Code §2.002];

Be eighteen years of age [Texas Family Code §2.102[, unless the underage party has secured an order from the court granting permission to marry [Texas Family Code §2.103[, or has proof of parental consent [Texas Family Code §2.202]; and

Not be related as an ancestor or descendant, related by blood or adoption, nor be siblings by whole, half blood, or by adoption, nor may either be a parent, brother, or sister by whole or half blood, nor be the son or daughter of a brother or sister by whole or half blood [Texas Family Code §1.03 and §1.92]

In essence, the parties to a informal marriage, like ceremonial marriage, must be of the opposite sex, of legal age, and possess no legal impediment, such as those concerning kinship or the existence of a current marriage.

MEETING THE THREE-PRONG TEST

A finding of the existence of a common law or informal marriage is only justified if the evidence shows that the parties agreed to be married, that they lived together in Texas as husband and wife, and they have publicly represented themselves as married. All three of these requisites must exist at the same time. In addition, the common law marriage without formality statute precludes proof of the existence of an informal marriage if the acts occurred in a state other than Texas. "

So basically all i have to do now is call her my wife..... wow thats pretty easy. We have lived together for the last 11 months already, she is a woman, over 18, not divorced in the past 30 days, and has no legal impediment.

i dont really have a number 3, just that i want my kid to have a family and not a mom and dad that hate each other. im 22 and i pull about 1500 amonth claiming zero dependants. so if i get married and claim two dependants, i could probably be making closer to 2100 a month, since i actually get like 2500 a month. and i could add my girl and baby to my insurance so i dont have to worry about them so much. but its kinda setting in that its not just a financial load, but an actual baby. a kid i can watch grow up and take care of. im starting to feel much better about this.

That should have been your first clue, dipshit.

Ok, really. People who PLAN to get married or have children will never do it. Now, think of how many people are married or have kids. Babies don't cost as much as everyone would have you believe. Baby showers are filled with diapers, which is your only cost until they're about 4 yrs old. Don't sweat the money thing, cause it's not a big deal. The BIG DEAL is if you get married, your sex life is done for. Marry the broad after the kid is 2 (like I did ) to ensure you set sexual standards. Sexual standards CANNOT be set with rings on. Only before.

Thanks man.

Sex is pretty much on the whenever i want it schedule anyways.

Listen, I'm not that confident in your pants wearing abilities after this thread. Just do what I say, and pass the knowledge along to the next sucker.
