The Marriage License – Run Forest Run!

Forest Gump was playing in theaters and it was the first date movie in my last  marriage. I look back on that “run Forest run” mantra as a veiled message I missed at the time.

If all the men in America started running from the marriage license we might collapse the divorce shakedown industry. Marriage license? Run Forest Run!

Has anyone ever asked you.. “do you have a license for that wife?”

Officer: “Sir I need to see your marriage license and health insurance papers for your wife please. Keep your hands where I can see them, or I might just shoot you 10 times.”

And what’s that marriage license blood draw thing all about? “Oh I hope I pass.” No, it’s to make sure she’s not riddled with hidden sexually transmitted diseases she forgot to tell you about; and vice versa. You might want to consider having these tests done on your own. Most state’s have stopped this practice as nobody cares if you live or die anymore or give birth to a monster STD ridden child, especially the government. It’s good for business.

Does a marriage license make one liable under family divorce law?

And you’ll get something similar to:

A marriage license establishes a legal contract between two people, which can create liabilities under family divorce law, such as property division, spousal support, and child custody. However, the specific liabilities depend on the laws of the state where the divorce is filed.

Did your dad ever warn you about this? Did anyone ever tell you this? Did you understand this was the case when you “got” or volunteered for your marriage license?  I guess divorce lawyers just chuckle at how stupid most people are. I’m sure when they see a wedding they know it’s just a matter of time before that couple becomes fresh meat, I mean new business.

If you don’t mind voluntarily submitting to the $5 billion a year divorce industry that primarily shakes down men, go ahead and get the marriage license. That’s $5 billion funded primarily by men who stepped up and volunteered for the shakedown. Once you’re in that industry’s system and on their radar, due to divorce, they own you and know it.

However, if you’re going to create a legal contract then you should control the provisions. Make one that avoids state jurisdiction and family divorce shakedown law. Research a Cohabitation Agreement (who pays what, the equity split of assets, etc) and Trust account(s) for all the community property with the Main Trustee (you) and the Beneficiary Trustee (spouse). Have a church ceremony and do the “I do” thing, but leave the state jurisdiction laws for alimony and property shakedown nonsense off the table; by just avoiding the marriage license.

This depends on the state you’re in and their common-law marriage laws. Ideally you don’t want to live in a common-law marriage state. Otherwise you’re automatically thrown into the $5 billion divorce shakedown industry. I would assume there are more divorce attorneys in these states as common-law marriage laws are constantly chumming the water with fresh meat.

This is for entertainment purposes only and a warning from the other side of the problem. This is not legal or financial advice. Consult with an Asset, Financial Planning Attorney and/or Family Law Attorney before using any advice offered on this site. But be forewarned when you ask an attorney…”see any hair on this idea?” they’ll always find at least four billable hours of “hair.” Could be cheaper than lifetime alimony though; your call.

There are certain times in life when you should hear the Chariots of Fire theme song in your mind and start thinking about running in the other direction. This next video could be a funny SNL skit of happy men running away from the marriage license.
