What's common law marriage?
A means for the government to legally and financially put a man on hook to a woman.

This is incorrect. Each state that allows common-law has differing expectations to be allowed to be considered common law. Also, depending on the state, common law marriages don't fully equate when it comes to inheritance of assets.

Can you get married traditionally after being common law married. (Same guy). We want to get common law married but later on traditionally married as well later on.

Maybe people want to get married but don’t want the government involved in it from what I understand common law Marriage pretty much gets rid of that which seems unjust and is just an excuse to get a divorce settlement t doesn’t seem right that if a couple decides that they don’t want the government involved in their marriage that it isn’t honored and that one party can change that at any time and don’t say that they could just get a prenup because those are routinely thrown out so what options are there
