http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/98101-wa-avvo-mod... The state of Montana is one of nine states that recognize common law marriages. The state of Idaho is one of five states that has grandfathered common law marriage allowing those that have established a common law marriage before January 1, 1996, to be recognized.
