Even in thos e juris dictions where there is common-law marriage, there is no such
thing as a common-law divorce. This means that once a couple is married, whether
ceremonially through a wedding or informally through common law, a divorce can only be
dissolved through a court order. However, in some jurisdictions there is a statute of
limitations on certain types of lawsuits made regarding a common law marriage. Where
applicable, after the two parties have separated and lived apart for this time period (possibly
1-2 years) a rebuttable presumption is created that the two never agreed to be, and therefore
never were, married (for exa mp le Te xas Family Code § 2.401).
Text 5. Julia Roberts
Julia Fiona Roberts (born on October 28, 1967 in Smyrna, Georgia, USA) is an
Oscar-winning actress.
Roberts first caught the attention of moviegoers with her performance in the film
Mystic Pizza in 1988. The following year she was featured in Steel Magnolias as a young
bride battling diabetes, garnering her first Oscar nomination (as Best Supporting Actress)
for her performance. She catapulted to worldwide fa me co-starring with Richard Gere in the
Cinderella-story Pretty Woman in 1990, which also earned her a s econd Oscar nod, this time
as Best Actress. Her next box-office success was the thriller Sleeping With the Enemy, in
which she portrayed a battered wife who escapes from her husband and starts a new life.
She played Tinkerbelle in Steven Spielberg's Hook in 1991, which was followed by a two-
year period in which she had no acting roles other than a cameo appearance in Robert
Altman's The Player (1992). In early 1993, she was the s ubject of a Peop l e magazine cover
story asking, "What Happened to Julia Roberts?"
Later that year, she co-starred with Denzel Washington in the successful The Pelican
Brief, based on the John Grisham novel. For the next few years, she starred in a series of
films that were critical and commercial failures, primarily because she was cast in roles that
strayed too far from her persona. She broke her losing streak with the comedy My Best
Friend's Wedding in (1997), and eventually earned a reputation as an actress who could
guarantee a huge box office draw. She won critical acclaim and finally nabbed an Oscar for
Best Actress for her portrayal of Erin Brockovich - a woman who had helped wage a
successful lawsuit against energy giant Pacific Gas & Electric - in the 2001 movie of the
s ame n ame.
