So you were ready to have a kid but you aren’t ready to marry?
Seriously? There are all kinds of studies that show children enjoy significant advantages under married parents vs unmarried. Below are a couple more recent studies. But just common sense tells us that married parents will generally be more beneficial to children because of the increased commitment, stability and structure from mom and dad.
“One estimate suggests that by the time they turn 9, more than 20% of U.S. children born to a married couple and over 50% of those born to a cohabiting couple will have experienced the breakup of their parents, for instance. The declining stability of families is linked both to increases in cohabiting relationships, which tend to be less long-lasting than marriages, as well as long-term increases in divorce."

“We find that the children of married mothers are more likely to complete college, with the premium increasing with each year of maternal age, up to the late 20s. For children whose mothers are in their early 30s, there is nearly a 20 percentage point gap in the likelihood of college completion between children born to a married versus unmarried mother”

Just get married already. It’s better for the kid.
Yep, just a label (that reduces the likelihood of separation by over 50%).
M1 how is it better for the kid being married?
Fiancee should be able to be added as a domestic partner. My vote is to just get married though given your situation. Don't have a stupid grand wedding and just knock it out at a courthouse. It was the best thing we ever did together.
@C1- wrong. The certificate matters. As do the ceremony and the rituals associated. You’re making a commitment to one another that is harder to break, legally and socially. You have a kid together - your lives are now more about giving the kid a good home and as many opportunities for success as you can. Why not just do it at this point?
Marriage is just a label they might have everything else besides the legal certificate
Have a court wedding and don't tell a soul. Then get the benefits. When you are ready to get married for real get married.
Yup!
Guess it’s part of the liberal California culture to be ready to have kids but not ready for marriage. Anyway I won’t judge that since I’m a traditionalist lol. Just see if you can add fiancé as a domestic partner for now. State laws should help you in that regard
Omg. The judgment in this thread!!!
Geez- what's up with 1950s mentality? A large number of people have kids before they get married. Most of them are oopsie babies. No need to throw shade on our fellow CPAs.
SD1 - that’s like saying, “Geez, what’s up with 1700’s mentality?" in response to someone promoting the bill of rights.
The age of an idea has nothing to do with its validity.
We both agree to marry when we’re both ready and to do it.
I can make jokes about conservatives and kids but I won’t.
Doesn't he count as a domestic partner?
I researched and as long as you have a joint account and have been living together for more than a year they are eligible
The new Wikipedia ladies and gents
So for those that aren’t married and have a partner that doesn’t have medical benefits all that is required is that they have lived with you for more than 6 months and you have them claimed as a dependent on your taxes.
