3:15 Ask Benjamin Shenker, a poly lawyer

Listeners call and write in to ask:

• Besides an LLC, how can more than two people own property together? (LLC, partnership, corporation, trust or a tenancy in common)
• If my ex has remarried in a more traditional arrangement and my long-term poly partner is married (not to me), does that put me at risk of losing custody of my kids?
• Is claiming a second legal marriage the only way to be prosecuted for polygamy?
• What are some of the ways to get marriage benefits without being legally married?

Find him at polyamory.law or on Twitter at @polyamorylawyer or Facebook at Law Office of Benjamin Shenker.

NCSF is a resource if you need help with child custody issues.
