We all know that Relationships are taxing and costly mostly for men, with social pressure to be a provider which has caused many men to opt out of dating and relationships all together. Laws eventhough they seem unfair, actually works for both men and women, but men don't know how to use these laws to their protection from fraud and theft in a relationship where she can legally steal assets and income.

Here is what I learned 12 years as a family lawyer and seeking advice from other lawyers that guarded or don't advertise the loopholes in family law.

First is false claims without evidence against an accused, without repercussions to the accuser. Despite the damage to reputation, there are counter charges to a false claim, such as Defamation of Character and lost of income to damage to character. But if you don't want to go through the courts there are ways to protect yourself ahead of time with legal agreements. Mutual Non-disclosure agreement is a gag order for any interaction with a partner. Wavier to Legal Counsel prevents any legal action against you. And most of all Consentual Agreement legally allows any non-violent interaction between you and a partner, but to be ironclad and uncontested requires a lawyer's notary and maybe a witness signature.

Second any Claim of Shared Property, recipients are always needed if you wish to share ownership of any vehicle or other assets. Where if you wish to end sharing of property and split it 1 party has to buyout the other or sell and split the money invested. But also would require a co ownership agreement to agreed payments and buyout of contract.

Third Cohabitation Rental Agreement Negates Common-Law Marriage

If your fiance, girlfriend, even so-called wife, paid first and last rent even if you gave her the money to pay you and transferred of money is proven even $1. She signs a rental agreement on the property you own or sublet agreement if you are the lease holder. Then legally the relationship is only a landlord renter relationship and no common-law marriage can be claimed.

When breaking up, you can have her evicted if she fails to pay costs of rent increased or not after 3-6 months of non-payment. And charging her for back-rent in court.

Any chance of contest the relationship as common-law would end rental contracts if threatened and close the rental market. And never in all my research can find a case against the rental agreement when tax returns are claimed.

Lastly, Children are very costly in any relationship and custody battles cost upwards of $100,000 and takes months to years to settle. A lot of prof is needed against a parent to deem them as unfit to take care of the child, mostly mothers who are awarded favor to child support. Child support alone can be 25% of net income of the father and failing to pay will lose your license and 6 months of non-payment could land you into jail for 6 months where child support stacks up even when you are not working.

Best and maybe only way to escape this and win full custody of a child you sire is with a Surrogacy Agreement.

A surrogacy agreement, or surrogacy contract, defines the rights and responsibilities to all parties to a surrogacy. When properly drafted, a surrogacy agreement protects both the intended parent/s and the surrogate, and helps the surrogacy experience to be a positive one for everyone.

There is 3rd party surrogacy agreement where it's all artificially implanted fertilization of male sperm into a donor egg and the embryo is implanted into the surrogate mother. But that still usually grants the custody to the mother and father and not the donor unless a conceptual surrogacy agreement is filed.

A "conceptual surrogacy parenting agreement" usually only requires 2 parties, the man and the woman. Where the biological mother conceives and carries the child to term without a donor egg, no expense artificial insemination is required.

All you need is 2 lawyers for each party with witnesses or lawyers notary on both agreements to agree to full custody and primary guardianship of the father, and waiver to mother's rights to the child before conception. If conceptual occurs prior to the agreement, then any claim to surrogacy is not valid and deemed null in void. Also, it makes it far easier to get a potential mother to your child sign away the child under your care before she becomes pregnant. You can always give her full visitation rights to the child and have the mother in your life, but she has no legal right to take the child away from you in a seperation. Plus impossible for her to claim any kind of child support as you are the primary guardian and caregiver of the child. Always encouraged to put in an "Exit Clause" in case the mother changes her mind during pregnancy to not give right to the child to the father, which would include no obligation or support from the father as mother would wave rights to child support to keep custody.

I hope these legal documents opens your eyes to a safer and less costly way to have a full relationship with a partner without bond financially to the partner or tied to legal binding marriage, but keep it casual or open without costs of seperation.

As always please do your own research and I'll try to answer any questions, but this isn't legal advice just an alternative to the unfair laws men face.
