Well, and it challenges a judge on divorces.

Let’s say Earl marries three women (Wanda, Karla, and Anne). Anne announces in year three that she wants a divorce. Because of the split...at best, all Anne can ask for is twenty-five percent of the property. But let’s say that only Earl and Anne worked. Would both Wanda and Karla get alimony from Anne? And let’s say that both Wanda and Karla have two kids each, with Earl and Anne as the bread-winners....could Anne be forced to pay child-support for the four kids?

The winner in all of this...are lawyers. You will need $5,000 minimum to get out of some simple four-person marriage, and it might go up to $10,000 for fees. Frankly, it’s a big mess legally I see coming.

Robert Heinlein actually covered some of this ground in his science-fiction novel The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.

Yeah, such complex unions are easy to get into. All but impossible to break out of.
