In many places, the grounds for divorce can be as simple as not consummating.

TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Wait, how does it make sense that one person with one income gets less aid than two people with two incomes but essentially the same bills?
Memes4Cheap
yeah i dont understand it either, nowhere in the gov is it written that people must pay taxes either but whatever

its a historical thing i guess, but i imagine getting rid of tax breaks doesn't win votes

it makes government sense

When I did this in 1998 it was to get the college to ignore my dad's income since he made a lot but since he didn't actually pay it cost me
merelyadequategooglymoogly
What is this "sense" of which you speak?
VodkaReindeer
In Finland you might get less aid if they think you're romantically involved with your roommate.
Enginerrrrrrrrr
Back in the day only one spouse needed to work to provide for a family. So one income for two people. Obviously not the same anymore...
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Yeah way outdated
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
To add on, why should married childless people get a tax break? Seems like a single person in the same bracket always has more expenses.
KlatnYelox
you get a tax break because when you're married you are joined as one person under god. The real thing is why we observe this legally?
Tylvian
Christian majority nation.
pgdave
Married people who each make similar amounts pay more taxes, not less.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Of course. Im saying a couple making 50K together has half the bills of a single person making 50K together. Who needs the tax break more?
pgdave
A single person can live in a smaller place, eats half as much, etc. There are efficiencies, but it's not that much.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
All I am saying is that a tax break just for being married no longer makes sense. I don't know if it is even a choice we should encourage.
SomeCrazyNerd
Dude you know why. Marriage is a status symbol. And important to Christianity which still has so much influence in the US.
MotherOfPupeons
Hmm not for gays. They hate that shit and say we cause flooding... which we do because we are crazy for wet tshirt competitions.
Tylvian
they were forced to implement gay marriage into the archaic marriage system.
Cheomesh
A large motivation for my wife and I to move from partnership to official marriage was a tax break. It was kinda fucked up.
marylanddd
how much did it save you? and is it because the brackets are different, or are there just straight up deductions for couples?
Cheomesh
Basically, if you file jointly your standard dediction basically doubles. Since we were living together on just my income anyways...
marylanddd
OK that's what I thought. So if you're both working and earn similar amounts, it likely won't save much, no?
manthabat
1) when you're married you're considered financially independent from your parents. If you're single and under 24 they will base your aid
manthabat
2) off of your parent's income. If you're married then they'll base your aid off of your and your spouse's income. Sooo if you and your
manthabat
3) spouse are both college students then you're likely making less money than your parents are. Hence, more fin aid from the gov and schools
NotAmused1001
It doesn't make sense. But, if you make minimum wage, you still make too much for financial aid in many states.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
I hear that. I experienced that. I also learned that paying your way though school w/o loans counted against your FinAid eligible hours
NotAmused1001
There's a whole convoluted formula. And don't take one course more than you need or they'll say your earned hours are over the limit.

indiehedgehog
Income, assets, etc which must be reported and considered. You won't get much fin aid if your parents make too much money, even if your (2/?
indiehedgehog
Parents refuse to pay for your education. You can become "independent" by turning 27 yrs old, getting married, having been emancipated etc.

I thought it was by turning 25, not 27? At least it was for me, anyway.

scatteredapplauseandmurmuring
What if you're a 28 year old single student? What's the financial aid outlook?
KlatnYelox
are you returning to college? if so it's much easier to get aid.
indiehedgehog
Depends on the state/college and how many years you've already taken financial aid. Submit a fafsa and you'll find out!

I became an "independent" student while still in college and my last 4 years (dual degrees) cost me less than my first year as a "dependent"

Wait is that correct? Bc according to current FAFSA language it's 24 as the age of independence- do colleges go by 26?

sham marriages are legally fraud.

Technically fraud, not legally. Nothing illegal about this
AlienPumaSpaceTrain
Im not a lawyer, but I would be more worried about financial liability if his 'partner' defaults on his loan.

Doesn't sound like they are going to cosign eachother just status. Sign a prenup agreement before and no financial liability on eachother.

You're not legally required to be in love with one another to get married, are you?

It's a sham marriage to gain a benefit. The government loves going after people who do it for immigration fraud but also welfare fraud.

Marriage law has zero to do with religion.
Nietzscha
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I think he was making fun of religious marriage. But that's unrelated to marriage law, so it made no sense.
DarthFutuza
Which is why it makes no sense having any laws about it, since marriage is religious ceremony. Separation of Church and State and what not.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
The religious ceremony doesn't make you legally married. All it does is marry you in the eyes of whatever god you believe in. The legal /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
marriage requires filing the paperwork, and can be done without any sort of religious ceremony at all. /2
SomeCrazyNerd
It shouldn't but it does.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
The laws? How are marriage laws religious? They apply even to secular courthouse weddings. They're not specific to any faith, they apply /1

to atheists as well. I'm an atheist and I don't see anything religious about them. /2

Azerai
Marriage is silly, rings are bs, the expectation that togetherness = = marriage is unnecessary and potentially harmful, just be happy
Zreen
Marriage is leftover from thousands of years of family units as part of a village economy, it's mostly cultural but a parallel trait.
NotAmused1001
Those things are silly to you. I will never regret marrying my partner after 16 years together. The legal protections are necessary.
DarthFutuza
I just don't get why the government has a hand in it. If there are going to be legal protections a signed contract works just as well.
causality
Replace it with voluntary civil contracts. Government should have no say and give no benefits to being a certain kind of relationship.
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
also it gives us a framework for situations where two people have jointly owned possessions and its difficult to determine who owns what.>
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
>i mean... it's a shit framework, but its certainly better than having nothing at all.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
So, for example, when someone dies, their partner should have to pay estate tax on that person's assets? Because the govt handles /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
taxation, and if they consider all relationships to be the same, that's what will happen. /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Same thing with, for example, getting a military pension after your spouse dies. Nope, too bad. No such thing as marriage to the govt. /3
weirdipedia
joint ownership laws do not require the state to know my cultural-religious baggage

Estate tax shouldn't be a thing at all.
