[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is adults, neither party needs to parent the other person's adult children. No child support or custody to figure out. As long as he's got college covered,  you can figure it out. Adult kids are not owed an inheritance, and you don't have new kids to worry about. In this case I see no reason not to marry.

The law has better protection of assets for married people. You didn't say who owns the current house (unless I missed it), and if you don't marry, and he passes first, you could be out on the street. It happens. [/quote]

I own my home and he has a condo that he rents out.  We do not combine finances and we have a joint account that we use for groceries, utilities and other purchases.  He no longer pays child support and he pays for his part of their college education.  I pay for my child's college tuition.  My assets are in a trust and my child is the beneficiary.  [/quote]

Right but if you married, state law would kick in and these things would change. Unless you explicitly wrote a prenup that said otherwise.

You also need to ask yourself if you're compatible as far as parenting adult children. What if you move in together and then one of his kids wants to live with you, for example?[/quote]
