If a couple is married under the law of Texas, if they move to Mississippi, they are also married under Mississippi law. If they then divorce, they will divorce under Mississippi just as though they had been married in Mississippi. For example, Washington doesn't recognize common law marriage for people living here. You can live together for fifty years and still not be considered married. But some other states DO have common law marriage. I'm not sure which states do, but assume that Colorado has a common law marriage law where a couple who have lived together are married after seven years of co-habitation. If that couple moved to Washington after living six years in Colorado, they would never be married even after another few years because we don't recognize CLM and they didn't spend their full seven years in Colorado. But if they DO spend their seven years in Colorado and are married under Colorado's common law marriage law, THEN they move to Washington, they arrive here as a married couple just as though they had been legally married under our laws. That's FF&C.
