I would never turn down a reason to hit Johnnys but DJ's at the casino might be a tick better.

Is that the new casino? When I was there the last time we went to the one on the steamboat.
No. The one on Illinois side. I haven't been to the new one yet.

Have you ever played golf at the arsenal? My son loves that course.
I have not. Delivered there several times and played just about every other course around here but not that one. Not sure why.

you have just solved your concern
advise your son to marry her forthwith, or keep looking

Wherever I see Trump, it smells like he's Putin.
If they have nothing in writing they both take their chances and let the chips fall where they may. They can go their separate ways as if they were never a couple if they so choose.
As soon as they both sign onto a legal document that ability goes away. It seems to me that signing locks them both into something neither might want at all. Consider that if your son is investing into her education (and she his) either might have a good claim to future earnings after that investment, if they have a written agreement. If they part ways, it's likely neither would want that.
Life's about risk and sometimes a gamble is better than a sure thing. Especially if that sure thing is about losing future income.
It's also generally a lose/lose when parents involve themselves in the couples finances. I speak from personal experience on this.
Let them handle it and everyone will be happier in the long run.

I do think that marriage is their next logical step.

They could side step any legal entanglements all together by keeping previous debts separate. If he moves in and starts paying part of the mortgage it would be no different than a scenario of someone paying rent, so no claim to repayment in case of a break up, i.e. he is receiving value for his payment in form of shelter. By combining and sharing their living expenses they would both have extra money to direct towards paying down their own individual debts. If it progressed to marriage, then they can combine everything and focus on paying down debts in whatever order they agreed made the most sense.
Is she hot?

I am not going to comment on the hotness of my son’s girlfriend.
Would be kinda creepy so I think that's a yes.
