Unmarried couples account for over 4 million households in the U.S. (U.S. Census Bureau). Some states define cohabitation differently than other states; and the laws about cohabitation also vary from state to state.

For example:

In a "no-fault" state it does not matter the reasons for a divorce, property and assets are split equally between the parties. However child custody, child support, and alimony may very well depend on the activities of the parent. A man who has proof that his ex is cohabitating with another man can often pay less alimony if not rid himself of it entirely.

In the state of Michigan, if a husband and wife get divorced, and then the husband begins cohabitating with someone, it has the same penalty as that of adultery; which, in the state of Michigan, is considered a felony, both for the husband, and the person with which he is cohabitating.

Proof of cohabitation is usually needed in family court to assist in child custody matters and just compensation claims for child support, spousal maintenance and alimony matters. Child custody may also be an issue during family court claims. All the facts that ICS will present are done so in a well fashioned, clear, and easy to read manner, which is admissible to the court.
