[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 3159769, member: 5485"] 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.
