living together before marriage: opinions?

For all the bullcrap that goes along with getting POAs written up, making sure wills are in order, owning everything in a corporate partnership, etc., marriage is a hell of a lot easier.

Also, if you're afraid of what happens in a divorce, see lawyers, get prenupital agreements written up. I very much believe in marriage for life, etc., (I'm old fashioned like that), but I still have a prenup, because sh%% happens.

I'm surprised you have a prenup only because most of my classmates think they are evil, even the ones who are planning on doing family law. I want to have one but the Conservinator is opposed (surprise!). I think he's trying to steal my assets.

That said, could we quit it with all the law talk, please? I pop on GC for a break from studying and what do I get? More law.

That bastard.

At this point, I believe that all of the stuff in my prenup would probably be considered separate property anyhow.

We conservatives are terrific at increasing our assets. All I can tell you to do is be careful. You're probably screwed anyhow. Good luck with finals.

Well, he'll always want my sweet government benefits if I get a PD job, so I guess I have that going for me.

And we live in a community property state so I'll just commingle all our stuff to make sure I get half!
