Common Law Marraige

[earlyretirement]

Thanks.
Actually I'm thinking about getting married and wanted to see if a civil union offers any advantages.

Hey if a "common law marriage" works for your significant other vs. a traditional marriage then go for it.

But I'd say you have an uphill battle with the majority of the women out there.

Also, I wouldn't worry too much. Whatever assets you have before you get married are yours.

My personal feeling is if you THAT worried about sharing whatever your earnings will be during your marriage in a potential divorce then don't get married.

Marriage isn't for everyone.
