Now There Is A New Way To Tie The Knot. It is our position that limited liability companies, "LLCs", may prove to be the new marriage model. Marriage is presently available only to one man and one woman. LLCs are available to everyone, couples (of any sexual mix) who wish to pursue life together, a single parent family and groups of friends. Marriage is based on family law, limited liability companies are based on partnership law and the legal arrangement its "members" agree to.
"Relationship LLC  (RLLC™) is a mark we created to refer to limited liability companies created by people who generally are not married but who want a legally recognized relationship between them. A relationship which would be a legal entity that could buy property, provide health insurance to its members, obtain credit cards, serve as the couple's consulting company (Put Your Relationship LLC To Work), lease a car, file a tax return as a partnership and in general, engage in any legitimate business.  Delaware Law also permits one person to create a LLC, i.e., single member LLCs.  It is logical to expect that a group or a family would form a Posse LLC (tm) to further the collective welfare and interests of the group.  Posse LLC is the mark we created to refer to social and professional associations formalized under LLC law.  

Limited Liability Companies are not taxed when classified as a partnership, rather the members pay tax, at the personal income rate, on the money which they receive from the limited liability company. An LLC can be viewed as a partnership which has the advantage of a corporation in that the members/partners are not liable for the debts of the LLC, nor are they liable to each other.

Relationship LLCs , by definition, cannot be created in an attempt to "legitimize" or obtain "state recognition of" a sexual arrangement (Gay or Straight) and cannot be used for an illegal, immoral, or unethical purpose.

LLCs are recognized by all fifty states, the federal government and internationally.

"The origin of this relatively new institution is generally attributed to the German Law of 1892, authorizing the Gesellschaft mit beschrnkter Haftung...Once established in Germany, the concept of the LLC had a very active and fast growth... Within a short period of time after enactment in Germany, the following countries joined the limited liability bandwagon: Portugal (1917); Brazil (1919); Chile (1923); France (1925); Turkey (1926); Cuba (1929); Argentina (1932); Uruguay (1933); Mexico (1934); Belgium (1935); Switzerland (1936); Italy (1936); Peru (1936); Columbia (1937); Costa Rica (1942); Guatemala (1942); and Honduras (1950). 13 Univ Pitt L Rev 193 (1952)."
Reportedly, half of all conventional marriages will end in divorce.  Several states are investigating ways of making marriages more stable.   Some of the remedies being investigated are counseling before marriage and marriage contracts which do not allow for divorce. 

It is our position that the way to strengthen marriage is to eliminate SEX as a component of the contract, the parties contracting should be able to handle sex without the state's assistance.  There is no real need for the state to be in the business of promoting contracts for sex.  There is clearly a benefit to be gained from the state promoting responsibility and stable relationships between people who care about each other, there is also a benefit to be gained from NOT having the welfare of children at the mercy of the current institution of marriage.

We feel it is important to point out that children are NOT parties to the marriage contract. MARRIAGE, therefore,  is not synonymous with FAMILY.   With LLCs, children may be parties (i.e members) of the LLC, and the LLC, which is composed of all members of the family and all assets in common, may survive intact the break-up of the marriage between the mother and the father.

This web site gives a general overview of all the various ideas relating to the Relationship LLC concept.   At this site you will find information which will allow you to (a) create a legally recognized relationship with your partner(s) which you can also use as a legal business; (b) get a free web site with free email addresses; (c) find leads to creating partnerships and associations with companies on the internet that will pay you for referring visitors to their sites.  Using Synetergy, your RLLC can operate a 24-hour music and book store on a free commercial web site.
Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs) and Family Limited Liability Companies (FLLCs) are estate planning tools which have been used by tax attorneys and estate planners to lessen the tax exposure of high income married couples.   These tools are significantly different from Relationship LLCs (which are intended to be new startup businesses for generating income).  The FLPs and FLLCs involve having the members/partners transfer significant assets to these family business structures, a practice which we do not recommend for Relationship LLCs.

There are complex tax and legal issues related to assets of married couples with children and their being in a partnership or LLC together.  This is why most authorities argue that an attorney is needed; further it may cost thousands of dollars to have such business entities created properly.  On the other hand, a Relationship LLC is simply a startup with only "seed" funds invested in it, it is much simpler than a FLLC, and in the event the RLLC is dissolved only the "seed" money is "at risk".  Many people create startup businesses without an attorney.  CLICK HERE for Graphic of FLLC V RLLC.

The terms "Family Limited Partnerships", "FLPs", "Family Limited Liability Companies" and "FLLCs" have been used for many years by tax attorneys and estate planners and are believed by us to be public domain (we have, however, copyrighted material using these terms). We are building a web site devoted to married couples who remain interested in FLLCs and FLPs, the site is FLLC.NET (TM). CLICK HERE

With all RLLCs being formed in Delaware, we believe that it would be possible to standardize tax and legal information and provide for support which all may be able to share at a much reduced cost.

"Invoking the feminist writer Martha Fineman, American University law professor Nancy Polikoff argues that organizing society around sexually connected people is wrong; the more central units are dependents and their caretakers." Fenton Johnson, Wedded To An Illusion, Harpers November 1996.
If by some remote chance, you and your partner(s) decide to terminate your partnership, there is a procedure for dissolving the Relationship LLC and only the assets of the LLC are involved. The personal assets of the partners/members (under Delaware Law) cannot be used to pay the debts of the LLC. With Relationship LLCs, a man and a woman who have children together but are not married (or who are divorced) can be a legally recognized Relationship.
In Arabia at the time of Mohammed, the word for marriage was Nikah, which literally meant sexual intercourse. In the Koran it was also used to mean a contract. Marriage thus was conceived of as a contract for sexual intercourse. (Fustel de Coulanges 1973, 89-90, 107; Bullough 1974, 67, 141; Snodgrass 1980, 79)."   Comparative Family Systems", The Course Sociology/Anthropology 495, by Dr. Judy Maynard

When it comes to communicating the concept of relationships as legal business entities, Relationship LLC is the only brand of its kind.   Relationship LLCs (tm) are recognized all over the world, giving its members a legal relationship in whatever state or country they may chose to reside.  Now There Is A New Way To Tie The Knot. It is our position that limited liability companies, "LLCs", may prove to be the new marriage model. Marriage is presently available only to one man and one woman.
