Yeah, that was a lame-ass excuse by **pchaos** when he said that it’s hard to stay current with the law because the law in question hasn’t changed in 118 years! He should have admitted defeat after you told him that California hasn’t recognized common law marriages since the nineteenth century rather than coming up with excuses.

😃

Yeah, **pchaos** giving incorrect legal advice is potentially dangerous. What if some poster actually takes him seriously? When **pchaos** claims to be an attorney he may be taken more seriously than he should be.
