Oh, I'm fully with you on the part of replacing the government recognition of marriage with civil contracts. I've never thought of my marriage as a legal structure but as a religious covenant. Having the government involved in my religious covenants just strikes me as wrong.

Yeah, it sure seems to me like there's a lot a good lawyer can do in those circumstances. However, inheritance in practice seems to have a lot less to do with contracts than it does with blood.

And just to re-iterate: I'll rabidly support a proposal to abolish all government recognition of marriage and replace the structures of marriage with civil contracts.

While I'm certainly sympathetic to his plight wouldn't a will take care of the part about his partners parents taking half the house?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
