So all the couples that choose not to get married so they don't need all the legislative baggage associated with being married.....

Are forced to count as being married. Brilliant.

Until the law changes, the state is forced to support abandoned such spouses through welfare instead of making common-law couples respect the same obligations married people have, Goldwater said.

Theyre not married so the don't have the same obligations. Thats the whole point of marriage, its a choice to change your status. You not automatically in such obligations because the government says so... They have no right in defining the obligations.

Even in marriage alimony is a joke. A relationship does not equal money that is gold digging BS. They each can spend their time how they want. Also, what does the father ever get in return for the time he lost from his kids while being at work.

How can you even have obligations when the relationship is ended?
