So you were ready to have a kid but you aren’t ready to marry?

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

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

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.
