Do it!!! Been married 28 years. No regrets Divorced 10 - even less regrets. Been living with 'erself for 16yrs, unmarried. Zero regrets. Would you be getting married for yourselves, or for other people? Do you need a piece of paper to somehow prove the relationship? She needs the bit of paper as protection. If you live together and she pays into the mortgage pot (but he owns the house), he can kick her out and she gets *nothing*. You certain about that?... Conversely, if they live together and have kids, if she kicks *him* out, he has no parental rights. I have 3 nieces (all sisters, as it happened), who all got married once they understood that there is no such thing as a "common-law spouse". One went to the solicitor (with him) and they discussed back and forth what sort of legal agreement would give him those rights. After a while the lawyer said "I'm not trying to push you into it, but why not just get married? It gives you all those rights you are trying to put into an agreement". So they did. That is what getting married is for, at the most basic level. It could also be viewed as a moment at which you say what you feel about the other person, in front of all your friends and relations. -- Tony Sayer |

My youngest was born before 2003 but I am named as the father on their birth certificates. The second point above uses "and" not "or" so that means I have no Parental Rights. This is more applicable to uk.legal.moderated, but: - Parental rights only apply to children under 16 (above 16 they get to make their own choices). If the child was born on 31st Dec 2012 you only have at most five years before it becomes irrelevant. - The mother can sign a declaration that grants you parental rights. - If she won't do that, you can apply to the court and you *will* be granted parental rights. (Unless you are seriously abusive.) |
