Legal Matters Regarding Cohabitation and Marriage Status


Questioner

My boyfriend and I want to live together. He's still married. His wife is severely disabled due to a brain tumor and lives in an institution. We care for her together with her parents. My boyfriend receives healthcare benefits for her care. She has no income. What should we consider if we officially move in together? For now and for the future?

Questioner

Dear questioner, Your question is so general that a wide range of answers is possible. I'm thinking of things like: dissolving the marriage, arranging tax partnerships, and, if there are children, arranging parental authority. How is the legal relationship currently arranged with regard to the woman's incapacity for business (if any)?
