Yes, a common law marriage is still valid in Florida if it was legally established in a state that recognizes such marriages. Florida does not recognize common law marriages that are formed within the state, but it will recognize those that were validly created in other jurisdictions. However, if you enter a common law marriage after moving to Florida, that marriage would not be recognized.
