Best for men - cohabitating - using contacts in lieu of a marriage license
Nevada Florida Tennessee Arizona Missouri Indiana Alabama North Carolina Mississippi
Worst California New Jersey Washington Colorado Minnesota Wisconsin Oregon Pennsylvania New York
Instead of marriage license
Cohabitation agreement Division of property - before, during, after relationship Financial responsibilities Debt Obligations Exit plan if relationship ends (no alimony) What happens to shared purchases (cars, homes, etc)
The good states have no common law marriage, state marriage-theft laws are not applied to you just for living together, and you don't have to pay for kids that aren't yours. Check the latter carefully
You can have a wife and kids without the state making it a ménage à trois
