There's common law marraige why not common law divorce? If you don't pay to get married why should you pay to get a divorce?

I have had to do tons of research on this subject the past couple of weeks because of some crap with my dead ex-husband and his 'girlfriend' and SSI death benefits.

Oh man. I wore myself out with it, but now I know what NOT to do in my next relationship.:tongue:

This common law marrage is for a couple that been together bought a house, cars, had kids both people worked got assets together. And are going to fight about them. The court wants to get their two cents in.

Reason I even asked is my now ex-husband and I were separated and had everything worked out. Just the courts did have to have their 2cents in it all. The divorce ended up costing more than the whole 7 yr marraige.frustrated rant

Next time....(LOL)....or if you know somebody who's going through the parting of ways like this...just sell each other the agreed upon goodies, for $10 each, and do title transfers. That way it's not attached to a divorce, per se.

Making divorce easier and cheaper would make the already sky-high divorce rate go up further.

True but we may not be as unhappy and in a recession either. Cause you know divorces have to have some effect on the economy.

No see we were living our separate lives. He had his bills I had mine the only thing holding us together was our son and even the child support was settled. We still had to report when we split up what we had and what we didn't.

It is more that the ecomony has an effect on divorce. The other way around is going to be negligable.

True the economy doesn't help divorces, but they don't help it either in my opinion
