It is implausible that pchaos is a lawyer and he should stop claiming to be one

From that other thread (where pchaos was disturbingly specific with his “CA has Common Law Marriage” advice):

@pchaos

Sorry, for the bad advice. It’s hard to stay current with the law. My feeling has always been, attorneys shouldn’t have to go to other attorneys for advice. Once law becomes that complicated the society is going downhill.

Son, just admit that you aren’t an attorney. A real attorney who specialized in other fields than family law would have been careful not to offer an opinion on family law that can be easily disproved by a few seconds of googling. As for “it’s hard to stay current”, a few seconds of googling reveals that California abolished common law marriage in 1895. That’s, lets see, math is hard, 118 years ago.
