One of my friends is about to be dumped off their parents’ health insurance and are in the all-american sweet spot of ‘too-poor to afford insurance’, ‘too-rich for medicaid’. We joked about getting married so they could get on my insurance because my union takes care of me pretty good but I’m worried I don’t understand the implications enough to make a good decision.
What does getting married actually mean?
Pretty confident that its only if the parties are actively fighting each other will a court step in to divide assets, kids, and debts.
My parents split with a no fault divorce with no fighting over who got the house, alimony, or possession of the kid (me), or visitation to the kid (also me). So no court mandatorily divided anything.
