Dear Abby column on marriage legality and privacy
A reader asks how to secure financial protection when a 16 year long marriage lacks a legal divorce. Abby advises securing earthly support from the generous spouse, not a second ceremony, and notes Massachusetts law limits estate and Social Security claims. Additional letters address church gossip, parental privacy, and using a teen advice excerpt for handling advances.
