Forget the laws, why would a man want to cohabitate and give up his freedom, his space, the control of every second of his life?

Why do men want to be controlled?

Because that’s what cohabitation is: letting her control your life.

Don't move out, don't let anyone move in. It's not over until it's over. Then you can do what you want. Date other people whatever you need to do on the downlow, but live like you're married or separated until it's final. You're just setting yourself up for failure in more ways than one.

Yeah, if you live in a common law marriage area…don’t cohabitate.

You’re playing with fire if you’ve got any sort of assets.

If you’re dense enough to actually say ‘I do’ again after you’ve been through divorce you get what you get, but that’s a conscious decision.

The government shouldn’t get to make that decision for you.

The risk of financial loss due to CIR is low. Out of the 1000 or so domestic cases in King County, WA less than 20 are CIR and they seem to have been settled without money judgements. Clearly women are not confident of CIR cases and lawyers are reluctant to take them, else you'll see a flood of these cases.

What happens in reality is more important than what's in the law

Don’t find yourself losing home equity and retirement by cohabitation laws like common law marriage, domestic partnership, committed intimate relationship, or whatever your jurisdiction calls it.

Eye opening webinar discusses how the court will find ways to give your ex girlfriend your assets, just like a divorce!

Moral: be very careful about cohabitation. Once again all the divisions screw the breadwinner should you find yourself on the wrong end of the court’s decision about your relationship.
