[quote=Anonymous]If your living expenses for two people combined under one roof are not less than two people maintaining separate households, you're seriously doing something wrong. And you'd have to pay for child care whether you got married or not. And if you look at the allowable deductions, the cutoff for child-related expenses is higher for a couple than for a single mom. I'm a single parent making just over $100k and I'm not allowed a credit for anything except a tiny sliver of the child care bill. No child credit, nothing. I pay everyone's bills, including my own.

But you also now will be entitled to a portion of your spouse's social security benefit and other benefits from the government should your spouse predecease you. I only get whatever I've earned over the years. One of you is unemployed, you can still qualify for someone else's health insurance. I'm not -- Cobra or just dying from lack of care for me.

Don't want to be married, don't be. But don't whine about the government screwing you. Get divorced and come back and tell us how that does by you financially with a kid. [/quote]
