When is it Time to Move In?

Is shacking up in the cards for you? Here are some suggestions:
1- Make sure you know all about them and their family: mental illness? addiction? baggage? 2- What about their close friends? arrests? prison records? plus the three in #1 above.
3- Who is going to clean what?
4- Any children? If so, discuss custody and visitation and get to know the children.
5- Meet the ex. Any restraining orders? Any psychological problems?
6- Who will pay for what? Will there be a joint account? How much does each contribute?
7- Who is responsible for what? Social life arrangements? meals? vacations? household chores?
8- Timing of visits to and from family and friends.
