SEX, LIVING TOGETHER and the LAW: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples (and Groups)

by Carmen Masey and Ralph Warner Nolo Press, Ca. $4.95, 187 pages.

New laws are cropping up with such frequency these days that it seems nearly impossible to stay on the straight and narrow even if you try. This is especially true if you live with someone of the opposite sex and both of you are unmarr ied. This is also sometimes the case with gays. Masey and Warner, two attorneys who are graduates of Boalt Hall Law School at the University of California in Berkeley, are now informing us that you can wind up behind bars if you consummate a sensuous relationship with a porcupine in Florida. You can also land in the pokey if you encourage a person under twenty-one to masturbate. At least this is the situation in Indiana.

Recently my lover and I attempted to purchase some homeowners insurance from Allstate (owned by Sears), and we were informed that two fees must be paid, Instead of charging us one price for the total package, Allstate would force us to pat at least $70 each since we were two single men living under the same roof. A married couple would be charged only the one price. All protest was to no avail. However, the charming salesman suggested that I list my lover as an uncle or some other member of the family. Then everything would be proper. We reported the action of the salesman to the head office, but, naturally, nothing was done. Finally we were able to contact a gay insurance man.

This incident simply demonstrates that sooner or later a gay couple may run in to unexpected complications. We always assume that legal problems happen to other people and not to ourselves.

Much of the material presented here can be useful to single people of any kind in a legal bind. Several tables are provided which show what is illegal in other states, such as cohabitation and adultery. You will also discover a generous sample of legal forms. At the beginning of each chapter our lawyer friends have been clever enough to include "Gobbledly Gook Defined" which explains all the necessary terms that relate to your problem.

All possible situations are covered, such as buying a house, moving, the death of your partner and how to deal with attorneys.

A special chapter has been written for gay couples, and there you will find no nonsense advice on credit and insurance, adoptions, and employment.

Sex, Living Together and the Law provides a stey-by-step guide to everyday problems, which recognizes the dignity and worth of all unmarried people. Here is one reference book for the home that may save you some real headaches.❤
