n. A couple (male and female) living together without the benefits of clergy. The union is legal as if a ceremony had been performed by a clergyman or a JP. It is unlawful if the couple ever pass themselves off as Mr. or Mrs. or if the female signs something with the prefix Mrs.
Tyrone and Brie Ann are good examples. They live together by common law so they can get all of the perks of the American system: free kids, free food via food stamps, health care, Pell grants for education, project housing, etc.

Tyrone is absent most of the time because he has three other women with whom he lives under similar arrangements. Tyrone's bitches are making a goodly income even if Brie Ann's quints are surrogate and somebody else got the government stipend. Brie Ann comes up missing periodically and it is not clear if there are other men in her life.

A Common Law Constable is a fictional entity and title of a UK Sovereign Citizen antivaxxer who has paid a fee & monthly subscription to a website for the privilege of thinking that they are a Common Law Constable that gives them powers to shut down vaccine centres with fictional bogus legal paperwork.
Common Law Constables secure their beliefs with the crime number 6029679/21 which is not being investigated by the Met Police & is not being investigated.
For lunch Common Law Constables like a nice Crayola cookie.
I am a Common Law Constable and I am here today to serve your with this paperwork to inform you that you are committing a crime against humanity & the Sovereign people and we order you to shut down this vaccine centre to prevent harm, injury and death.

Common Law Marriage is defined when you live with your significant other and you get a dog together. Common Law has nothing to do with different names, joint bank accounts, or paying for bills separately.
That nigga went out and got a dog. Damn, he's common law married now.

when you can't afford an attorney, the fees or even the gas to get to Bankruptcy Court, you just declare Common Law Bankruptcy (In Pro Per..means "I represent myself").
who knows better than YOU how much money you don't have & how you just can't make payments on credit cards.
when the collection agency called, i declared Common Law Bankruptcy (In Pro Per).

(not to be confused with regular, run-of-the mill domestic violence, which is strictly one spouse physically beating up the other)

when 2 common-law spouses start perpetrating physical domestic violence on each other at the same time during an argument and both require hospitalization for their injuries afterwards.
the recent case against Slava Voynov of theLos Angeles Kings is not, IMHO to be classified as domestic violence but as double-barreled common-law assault and battery, simply because both he and his girlfriend suffered significant injuries requiring hospitalization during the incident.
