- Besides an LLC, how can more than two people own property together? (LLC, partnership, corporation, trust or a tenancy in common)
- If my ex has remarried in a more traditional arrangement and my long-term poly partner is married (not to me), does that put me at risk of losing custody of my kids?
- Is claiming a second legal marriage the only way to be prosecuted for polygamy?
- What are some of the ways to get marriage benefits without being legally married?
