#7  /\ #2, Determining Child Custody when one or more members of a "group marriage" split off. For all the talk I would wager it will boil down to the expected: whoever has the most money to game the legal system wins.

They weren't getting enough employment when the hetro marriage racket started to declined so they needed to open a new market.

#3  unfortunately the 'love equals love' logic of the Obergefell (back in 2015) leads to throuples rights pretty easily

#2  I had a long conversation about this sort of thing back in the day with a lawyer friend who specialized in same-sex marriage issues. Basically, the process of having legalized polyamory of any kind is too complex for the American legal system to get its head around. Think about issues of inheritance or child custody to name but a few. You can change a few words and have same sex marriage under the existing legal framework. But to have legalized "throuples," one man with three wives, or any other combination requires massive retooling of the entire code.

Time to start annual Judge reviews to weed out the oddities that make ruling based on external Social & Media pressures.
