"Provides lots of practical advice and also includes information about various state laws relating to unmarried couples." Washington Post "Citing reports that the number of unmarried couples living together continues to climb, Hertz and Guillen offer plain-language advice on how the law impacts various aspects of such a couple's life. Their topics include the legal status of living together, living together agreements: why and how they work, buying a house together, you and your ex-spouse and children from a prior relationship, and moving on: when unmarried couples separate. They do not address special problems that same-sex couples may face." Eithne O'Leyne, Editor, Ringgold, Inc., ProtoView
