My response:

At the bottom of this response, you'll see a button that says, "Profile". Click on that, and scroll to the bottom.

Then, I want you to click on this link and check the marital laws for Common Law marriages for each State. You'll notice that New Jersey is NOT listed.

Thanx IAAL, no offence. Guess I should have looked at your profile first. How do you even have time to answer all these questions? I work in a law office up here in Canada (just a secretary). Anyway thanx for that other website as well!

My response:

This is one of those little "perks" of being the owner and managing partner of my 3-Partner lawfirm, with a staff of paralegals and secretaries that could "choke a horse".

My minions do most (90% or more) of the work. After nearly 22 years, I'm entitled, damn it !
