    Please explain to me how exactly could I “do paperwork”

    You enter into a contractual union that is recognized by the federal government.

        !That’s not how contracts work!<

        Which part? The entities entering into a contract or the judicial branch honoring contracts?

          The part where a contract between two parties (spouses) has any power over anyone else who didn’t sign the contract, like hospitals for visitation for example.
