She could only come visit during the normal friends visiting hours IF she is accompined by one of my relatives. Not to even get into the will. I could leave it all to her in the plainest terms, and she wouldn't get anything if anyone as far away as my cousin contested it.
Also, there are no real restraining orders in my state. The law does not recognize co-habitation. If a woman is being beaten by her husband, she has more ways to get protection. If a woman is being beaten by her boyfriend...no she isn't, because legally she has no boyfriend. She can get a protective order that states if he hurts again he'll face a judge. But she cannot have him removed from their home. And that's my biggest concern.

Well, the taxes thing can be debatable. Some people argue there's is essentially a marriage tax, but I'm not personally seeing it. I think it depends a lot on your particular assets and income distribution.
As far as the other stuff, where do you live?
Your state sounds crazy. You can't have a will in which you elect who to give your assets to? You all passed an amendment restricting all visitors in the hospital that weren't related to the hospitalized patient? The victim of violence thing just seems kind of bizarre too.
I can see why you feel like you do if these descriptions are accurate.
