[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We have a joint bank account.

We do own our house together, our deed is just not the same deed type a married couple would have. Any two (or more) people can buy a house, you don't need to be married. [/quote]

Yes, I know that re home ownership. Given how intermingled your finances are, why would it be any easier for you guys if you separated than if you were married?  I don't really understand.[/quote]

The laws don't apply to us as they do in marriage. I don't need to submit financial statements to a lawyer and then to court. We can close our joint acct and move on to our separate accounts. The house is the same as it would be for any two people owning a house, we sell it and split the proceeds or one of us buys the other out. Either / or.

Our finances aren't so intermingled either one of us would be begging the other for support or worrying about child support or alimony. This is one of the areas that I have seen friends go to court after court after court date and get screwed.

My dear friend's husband of 7 years just up and left. Before he left with his mistress he moved all of their joint money to his own private account. My partner can indeed up and leave but he cannot take my money and move it. Or do any of the things my friend's legal *husband* is doing to her.

So again, I don't see finances as a reason to get married. It doesn't change anything for us. [/quote]
