If the lifetime for gamma emission exceeds about one nanosecond, the excited nucleus is defined to be in a metastable or isomeric state. The decay process from this excited state is known as an isomeric transition (IT).
Common Law Marriage States. Currently, only nine states (Alabama, Colorado, Kansas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas) and the District of Columbia recognize common-law marriages contracted within their borders.
You might want to start with the county courthouse in your current state/county of residence. Common law marriage is not recognized in New Jersey. It is only recognized in 10 states: Alabama, Colorado, Kansas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The only exception is if you entered into a common law marriage, and it was validated, within one of those 10 states.
