Government Interference in Break-ups

The petition is entitled that government should not interfere ( except as regards any children ) with the financial split when an unmarried couples relationship ends, except to support the fair position that you get out financially what you put into a relationship and the explanatory notes say
"What right does the government have to interfere in the relationship between two people if they choose not to join in a legal sense via marriage? I believe that if you choose not to be in a married relationship you are only entitled to leave with the material possessions you brought and added to that relationship including financial possessions. The only difference between two friends living together and an unmarried couple is sex and love (friends can also love each other) Why should either partner have to pay financially for sex? The needs of any children from the relationship is a reasonable area of concern for the Government"

How, exactly, can the Government interfere in a relationship breakup? Does it ever? The only possible explanation I can think of is if a relationship breaks up and the two can't agree on who brought what to the financial doings of the pair and take each other to court, or something. In which case, what practical alternative to "government interference" is there?

I've now wasted an hour reading numerous blogs you have written in the last two months. You undoubtedly were raised here in England, and are undoubtedly young, based on the factors that you believe that just because you are "entitled to an opinion" that your opinion is valuable. It is most often, in most cases I read, not. Just asking questions, or expressing skepticism, is a curious exercise in self-psychotherapy but it is not by itself of value to others. Please spend more time evaluating each issue on the basis of what it may mean to society, not you. That you put words behind your opinions does not garner respect for you... nor does it enhance anything except your own listings. Please think twice. In Frank Herbert's Dune an important principle was to "speak only the deepest truth you can sense". Please. Thanks. Anonymous only because I like most others have litle time and now I won't waste further time reading your rantings. But good luck anyway. Cheers, a real person
