Look, if it works for you, fine. As you said your self, most people are not good judge of characters.
The problem is not so much about what's good. The problem is who decide what's good. Government is always an asshole. So is marriage, because government write the contract.
What can you get out of marriage that you can't get by writing your own contract, if the latter is legal?
I did adsense JV. Out of 10 or so people I did JV with, only 1 and latter 3 are honest. The rest will cheat you if it's toward their selfish interest.
I simply stop the JV, I also stop trusting people too much. I would trust people with certain amount of money, but that's it. With marriage you trust people with your life. You put your head on guillotine, knowing they have every incentive to cut your head but somehow believing it won't happen.
The only reason why people still do that is because too many alternatives are illegal.
Child support laws have nothing to do with supporting any child. If the cost of raising a child is $400 per month, for example, child support laws required by government will be constant $400 per month irrelevant of how wealthy the man is. If the girl feel that getting $400 per month from a billionaire is too small, she can always negotiate for more before shagging.
Think about it.
Why should government demand more simply because a man earn more? Do you pay more for your cars, burgers, houses, simply because you earn more?
