Flip side of marriage?

[Limited GM]

So I've a friend who was bragging about moving his gf into his place. Cited the not marrying her reason as in case he wanted to get rid of her, he could easily. I didn't argue, as I've never researched it for this state, but know some states that's easier said than done. Some, once you invite them in, they have to leave on their own.

What says you? Any good stories?

She could always file civil suit against him. Civil court may see them as married if they live together and act as a married couple. Get a prenuptial agreement. That's the real way to go.

You can't accidentally get married. For a common law marriage, you have to declare yourself married and hold yourself out as such. Since this guy clearly doesn't want that, seems a safe bet it isnt going to happen

However, if she moves in, it can get complicated. Because that is her legal residence, she will have laws to protect her. As well as a lawsuit because she will claim she put money and all that into it with the intent they will be together.

If he isn't married, I'd suggest keeping his place to himself and she lives and pays her own bills on her own.

Sounds like your friend is a real winner. If he thinks that he can move his GF in, get the benefits of marriage and then toss her to the curb when he’s ready to either trade her in for a newer model or when he’s tired of her, he’s either a) got no real life experience with women, or b) has experience with a specific type of woman.


Maybe your friend should simply cowboy up and TALK to the woman in question, and let her know what he wants and what he does not want in their 'relationship'. She may find it convenient, or a waste of her time. As he's already thinking about how to discard her, and he's bragging about it...I have to secretly hope that she will not accept things meekly.

Having a shared bank account qualifies you also. Names on vehicles etc
