Contract Marriages?

and unlike greencard marriages you can actually get away with not living together because military men are often traveling and if you're in college that makes things easier. plus its hard to call it fake if you really do fuck.

that being said not living together makes the division of benefits more rough.

regardless, theres no real downfall other than what divorce can bring, but seeing as you seem to be the woman in this situation you dont have anythign to worry about.

Well, I wouldn't mind living together as I am trying to leave my hometown anyway. That being said, though the extra pay is dependent on location, I've estimated it to be around 2-2.5k, and that's just for housing alone. Would it be a bad idea to get an apartment together?

As for divorce, I mean we both understand what is going on. This wouldn't be a marriage out of love/feelings, it would simply be for the benefits. Though, I know there is a risk of a partner developing feelings in situations like these.

That being said, looking up quotes for divorces seem to be outrageously high (25k?). But I'm assuming those are divorces which involve the bitching and bickering. How much would a smooth divorce be? Where both parties aren't fighting over shit (property, possessions, etc.) and just need the official document stating it's done.

>would it be a bad idea to get an apartment together

maybe? depends on why you think it would be a bad idea.


as for divorce yes those involve bickering and what not. a smooth divorce is literally just signing some papers.

the issue i more meant is one of you getting upset then trying to take the others shit.

for instance say he meets a girl he wants to marry, and then expects a divorce but you're half way through college and dependent on him and also mad cuz he did something stupid.


suddenly it can get ugly.

Being young (19) and new to housing outside of my parents, I have no idea what to expect when living outside of my parent's care. I'd assume it's just being a bit more responsible and the necessary bills, but I could be naive. Also with pricing as well. Is ~2.5k enough to support two people? I am apt to getting a job but unsure how much extra money would be necessary.

Though I do have that in mind, it isn't going to be a super long-term arrangement. Right now, being in CC, it doesn't matter much where I am located as all CC's are roughly the same. I plan on doing 1-2 semesters then transferring to a proper uni, so I'd only be a 'dependent' 2 years max.

I'm led to believe that it's a short enough time where it wouldn't be worth fucking me over instead of waiting for everything to be settled.

If you both agree on everything you can have a lawyer draft the papers (and you file) for a few hundred bucks.
(You can also do it yourself but it's probably not worth it over a few hundred dollars.)

I'd probably consult with a lawyer who can tell you about any other issues in the state where you will be married. Might want a pre-nup too to avoid arguments down the line.

This doesn't sound worth it AT ALL. Don't do it.

I'd like some input as to why you wouldn't think so? Not opposing the idea of not doing it, but I'd like to understand why not.

Mind you, I ask with ambiguity because this is relatively an unorthodox situation and looking online there's a lot of moral fags that say "Stop wasting tax payer money" or some shit along those lines.

To reiterate, we are not looking to get married because of love, just for the added benefits that the military gives to spouses. Is there any "gotchas" that I'm over looking that could bite me in the ass in the future?
