    weak proof of cohabitation for common-law pr?

    My boyfriend owns his apartment so there is no other landlord. There is a concierge however that is familiar with the both of us living together. Also, I dont know if this helps but years ago in 2006 my boyfriend filed his taxes as living with me. Would this have any significance?

    why the genuicity of a marry is investigated like this?

    Its a process and we are all in the same boat. Some of us will be scrutinized more than others due to red flags. They must have common sense though when it comes to particular issues with red flags and see how things add up (such as relationship proof)
