Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  to accompany spouse 

Summary:

Requirement that a common-law relationship must have been in existence for a year before it will be treated as a spousal relationship is a policy decision only. That circumstance is only one of many situations in which good cause for leaving employment will be found. **NOTE: No appeal was pursued in this case as the Commission found that the fact-finding as to the possibility of another job was incomplete. Also, all circumstances must be canvassed in determining whether the claimant had explored all other reasonable alternatives before leaving employment.
