Your children would have protection WITHOUT a will if you have a marriage license. Without one, you have to pay extra to go have a will made.....that can STILL be contested. Giving your possessions to your children after you die cannot be contested if you are married and recognized as their parent.really?They wouldn't exist without a license.No it wouldn't. The process to make sure those decisions are met upon my death would change.Your legal protections would change.....inheritance would change....and ability to make life decisions for your partner would change.I know one thing for sure....if government were out of marriage, my marriage would not change one iota....and all Americans would be able to enjoy NOT feeling left out of something. Marriage is a union...government makes it a legal thing...I don't need it to be legal to appreciate my union with my wife whom I love dearly.I don't care either way.....as long as it's equal. However, what do you think the MAJORITY of married people would think of his idea?
I am not married to my children, but they will get from my will what I designated for them.
When my dad died, his charity of choice got a nice inheritance, and he was not married to the charity.
If I were to die, my wife will get from me what I designate to her....whether she was my legal wife or a civil union.....
I believe you are one of those that is against the idea strictly because it was a homophobe who came up with it.
No need to discuss this further with you.
Take care.
