So just when I figured out how I could likely have another romantic relationship without jeapordizing my future financial well being, friends tell me I am totally deluded. In Colorado it doesn't matter how long you engage in a live in relationship you can still be held legally responsible for maintenance and division of assets. So if I want to have a live in lover, I guess my partner needs to be equally financially well off and we need to do a prenup, even though we are not married (?? ). Having already been through a really painful financial wrangle during my divorce, the idea of exposing myself to another legal battle is really unacceptable. What a Catch-22. Comments?
