I think the theory is 'dissolution of a partnership,' but I could be wrong (and probably am).

I have to agree. What are the benefits to not marrying? If anything, it makes a separation if the couple splits up even worse. You have a whole lot of legal issues it creates. If one partner dies, you have a huge mess.
If you have a kid involved, that complicates things so much more.
People who say "we don't need a piece of paper" tend to be the people who end up splitting up, lol. That's an empty, meaningless phrase. Trying so hard to "stick it to the man". You end up making your lives, and potentially your child's lives, a lot more complicated.
