You might want to start with the county courthouse in your current state/county of residence. Common law marriage is not recognized in New Jersey. It is only recognized in 10 states: Alabama, Colorado, Kansas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The only exception is if you entered into a common law marriage, and it was validated, within one of those 10 states.
According to NJ family law unless the parties signed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement which splits things up a certain way, the state laws govern how things are split up except when it comes to real estate. In a community property state such as New Jersey, whatever is brought into the marriage will remain yours.
