The Marriage License – Run Forest Run!

Forest Gump was playing in theaters and 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!

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.

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 their 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’s”, 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.
