Yep. An example: he’s a veteran and get’s VA or needs Medicaid. She’s a spouse, she keeps the house. She’s not, out she goes.

It’s not a “non-issue”

Yep, when he dies and she’s shocked that she get the full benefits that a spouse would.....she’s going to regret not getting the marriage certificate.

“We own a house together, raise my girls together, all the bells and whistles. Just not ever going to marry her.”
