[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The property issues aren't really more complicated than they are when people marry, then divorce, then remarry, then divorce, and so on. They could be handled by contract to the extent people want to specify what happens with their stuff, and there could be default distributions otherwise, the same as there is with two-parent families.[/quote]
It would be way more complicated.  In the case of marry, divorce, remarry, divorce, etc. each time the divorce occurs the assets are divided.  So on your second/third divorce the assets you gave up on your first divorce are not yours to consider in a subsequent divorce.  Also, when splitting assets in a marriage much attention is given to assets obtained while your were married.  This is one of the main reasons for having a prenuptial agreement.  In the case of polygamy/polyandry/polyamor it would be much more complex because the length of time you were married to each spouse will most likely be varying.  If you did have prenuptial agreement, you would need multiple agreements with each spouse having ones against each of the other spouses.  Then if one spouse files for divorce you really would be divorcing multiple spouses and you would need to take into consideration length of time each spouse was married to the other spouses and how long each spouse was married to you.  I'm sure it could all be figured out but it will be multitudes more complex and highly susceptible to multiple lawsuits.

And you never even touched on the complexities involved in life decisions like health and children decisions.[/quote]
