+|:------:|-------|------|-------|
+| \*     | 5.0 | [Childless](#childless) | encoded as `NCHI 0` |
+| | | [Lived Together](#lived-together) | perhaps `RESI`? |

+| `RESI` | 3.0 | Residence | |

+# Details
+
+## Childless
+
+The assertion that a family does not have children can be made using the `NCHI` structure with payload "`0`".
+This is distinct from simply not having any `CHIL` structures,
+which might mean there are children that have not yet been added to the data.
+
+### Used
+
+- Part of the [GEDCOM X specification](https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx/blob/master/specifications/fact-types-specification.md) as a distinct stucture with URI `http://familysearch.org/v1/CoupleNeverHadChildren`
+
+## Lived together
+
+### Description
+
+*proposed description missing*
+
+*In [FamilySearch API documentation](https://www.familysearch.org/developers/docs/guides/facts)* without a definition
+
+### Value
+
+Found in the following historical records:
+
+- (records not yet identified)
+
+### Absence
+
+The most closely related structures are:
+
+- `FAM`.`RESI`: provides the place of residence for the couple, which generally implies they lived together. However, "lived together" is sometimes used as a euphemism for "acted as a couple without a preceding marriage ceremony," which is only indirectly implied by the presence of a `FAM`.`RESI`.
+- `MARR`: some interpretations of living together as a couple and some definitions of marriage make living together a type of marriage; other definitions do not.
+
+Related proposals include
+
+- Common Law Marriage (in the Family Events document): some interpretations of common law marriage and cohabitation are very similar to one another
+
+
+### Used
+
+- Used by the [FamilySearch API](https://www.familysearch.org/developers/docs/guides/facts) with URI `http://familysearch.org/v1/LivedTogether`

+## Common Law Marriage
+
+### Description
+
+*proposed description missing*
+
+*In [GEDCOM X](https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx/blob/master/specifications/fact-types-specification.md) as* "The fact of a marriage by common law."

+Found in the following historical records:
+
+- (records not yet identified)
+
+### Absence
+
+The most closely related structures are:
+
+- `MARR`: can express a marriage of any type, potentially including common law marriages. Common law marriages can differ from other marriages, however, in that they may lack a ceremony or event marking the entrance into the married state.

+Related proposals include
+
+- Lived Together (in the Family Attributes document): some interpretations of common law marriage and cohabitation are very similar to one another
