You are correct. In some states it's 5 years, in others its 7 years. In other states, at one time it could be contracted, but can no longer be. Several states have never permitted common-law marriage: Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland, NC, Oregon, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington West Va and Wyoming..
