There’s a lot of maybe he violated laws in this. collecting benefits as he states while knowingly using a false identity, being still wanted by the Air Force, and probably adopting the identity to hide from charges of desertion.
And the common law marriage thing, as a family lawyer I can tell you that’s a huge mess in most states.
Where did he get the copd/cancer diagnosis if he can’t use his medical benefits without getting his id cleared up? Is the court unaware of all this? Most cases I dealt with, the court would ask questions to make sure there’s no nonsense going on. I have no interest in ruining a dying man’s remaining life, but I’d be astounded if this didn’t get brought to their attention. At least he didn’t commit suicide as I feared. Looks like even though he was missing, he still had decades of life after that date.
