t. former private investigator whose firm got hired by the woman trying to "divorce" her "husband". They made us go around and interview neighbors, friends, co-workers in order to try and see if the couple "presented" as "married". As far as I know if worked, chick got half his shit no matter how hard he argued that he never signed a piece of paper. I quit shortly after that.
Also it changes by state by most states with common law marriages have mostly the same laws
