I've been ridiculed for claiming that we need marriage contracts, and why. People have said, "That's a ridiculous scenario", and "that will never happen" to precisely these questions:
Keep this in mind, once "Polyamoury" is legal, and from a legal standpoint "COMMON LAW" MARRIAGE LAWS THAT EXIST ALREADY will be used to create marriages even though you may not have registered them with the state. Then divorce laws can be applied to them in the above scenario.
A scarey scenario. You just graduated from College, you roomed with 3 other guys in the same dorm room. You get married, you have kids and those three guys show up, claiming that you were married to them, and sue to gain custody of your children with your wife, because after all, Polyamoury is legal, they claim you were in a "gay marriage" with them, they sue to get your house, your kids, everything. It is not that far fetched. It in fact will happen unless we take steps now.
Here's another. Maybe you're a new Christian. You had an "affair" and your marriage nearly broke up. You found the Lord. You and your spouse reconciled. It's not over. The jilted lover claims "marriage". It's going to get really ugly.
Here's another. A "Clan" marriage of a corporate nature is created. These powerful rich lawyered up people go around deliberately having affairs, rooming with people, seeking occasion, and then claiming marriage. They then use the courts to pillage marriages of assets and children. They could even be a child porn ring or pedophiles looking for new victims.....

I have raised ALL of these issues privately and said that if I could think of it, someone else could. A person armed with a lawyer could and would raise havoc. There millions of lawyers out there, someone did think of it. To be truthful, I probably wasn't the first person to do so. WE NEED MARRIAGE CONTRACTS.
