The solution to the marriage question

[Oceano]

Have a marriage (i.e. take vows) and then don't sign the documents after.

That way you'll be married in the eyes of God which is the true significance behind marriage (thus pleasing the woman as she gets to have her big day)

And the man will also be happy cos he knows that he won't lose half his stuff and yet he will be married.

The documents are peripheral anyways, its the marriage between two people that counts. Legality issues just get in the way.

Discuss.

wrong.. after 6 month of living with your partner you become commonlaw, without anything being signed and she can still take half.

depends on the state

Maybe in N. Korea but not in most of the US. There might be a couple of common law jurisdictions left.

lololol. You're incorrect.

6 months? lmfao. I live in UK - the home of the 'common law'. What your sayin is ludicrous.

Anyways, get back on topic.

depends on the state

Exactly, I think here its like 7 years. If I were to ever keep a girl around that long I'd make her move out for whatever the minimum time you have to be apart to start over. Unlikely to have one that long though since the best times of a relationship is the first 3-6 months. Usually around the 4-5 month mark I start dropping hints that they need to go away.

LA has no common law, they did at one time but not any more.

The only way I will remarry is if I decide to have another kid. I don't consider marriage something I HAVE to do or he HAS to do to prove our love to each another. I however will not have a kid with out that bond due to certain State laws... blah blah. If we both decide we want a kid, then we will get married... There can be a book of prenups... Its a piece of paper to me, but the state, Insurance company's, Federal Gov't etc... reconizes it as something important

Oh, and our gym membership also

Most Pastors that marry couples in a church, sign and require a marriage license
on the wedding day..
Not sure if any would be able to bypass this option and call it a marriage.

Marriage is all about the vows in the eyes of God. Registration of the marriage comes after


This wasn't the point of thread though. The point was/is: would everyone be happy with such an arrangement?

Funny...my father...an Episcopal priest, always said that "The state marries a couple. I bless the marriage."

Yeah, you don't seem like a religious man's daughter.

Then you've never known a PK. Both my parents are priests, so I'm double the trouble.

PK?

 

[nefertiti]

PK = "Priest's kid"/ "Pastor's kid"

A recent anecdote of the correct reaction to my parent's profession is just the other night when I went riding on my friend's motorcycle for the first time. When one of his friends, who was riding with us, found out what my parents do for a living, he said, "Well I bet you were right at home on the back of that bike. Every PK I've known was a hellraiser."

go to court with that evidence and you're gonna lose. . .i've seen people lose stuff to someone that they weren't even married to (commonlaw or otherwise). . .your pattern of behavior during the time that you're together will be taken into consideration. . .

i only knew 1 pastor's daughter. she was dirty. she wanted to cheat with me behind my mate's back. so i can understand. i like good girls tbh.

 

[nefertiti]

Quite a difference between being dirty and a hellraiser.

Anyway...I fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

so you're telling me that no one in the uk has ever been sued by their significant other, after years of co-habitation, where one person always took care of all of the other's financial needs?? i find that kind of hard to believe. . .i have a client that works at http://www.biicl.org/people/ i think i'll ask her about it. . .

a dirty hellraiser? j/k

bad girls think its cool to be bad. good girls realize they're better than that.

I meant in between a hellraiser and a good girl, lol.

Haaa...pretty sure no one would call me a "bad girl." Closer to a good girl who's a little reckless and an adrenaline junky.
