I am aware that ( in the UK ) the state of 'common law wife' means nothing. I am not married to my partner but I wonder if it is worthwhile to tie the knot.
We share deeds on our house, we have a son and we both have life insurance. However, I am not his legal 'next of kin' and he isn't mine. Plus, neither of us have a will.
Does any one know if it is stupid to go through life not bothering to marry, only to be schtupped by the law?

NO. Everything will be ruined if you do. You will cheat with Chris from myspace.

I have a friend that has been living with his girlfriend for about 12 years. He got in a fight and got hit over the head with a 2 x 4 and fractured his skull and worse. He was completely out of it for months. She was not the next of kin and she could not sign for his treatment or make any decisions. That was a painful time for her as his real next of kin was his worthless junkie daughter. You sound like you are in a stable relationship. Why not get married - if only to not be schtupped later? It will come up - eventually. I wouldn't want anyone else but my wife to make decisions for me if I am unable...

I think that if you make a will naming everything to each other and then to your son cannot see any reason to tie the knot. When doing your will you can also grant power of attorney for both financial and medical reasons to each other

its not stupid at all to get married. it strengthens your bond andlove and celebrates it. oh wait, i think i didn't get your question. yeah you should get married since you have a son. you might as well.
