Parties to it would have rights and responsibilities along the lines of the parties to a marriage. That needs some thinking about. Would all members of a family get health insurance coverage, for instance? If you had a three-person "home team" and one wanted to exit the relationship, would that break up the home team completely, or would it be like a baseball team where you just slip the person out, and the team goes on as its legal unit? Can you add more people at will, or is it something you form once and that's it? I would assume, if you're going to have a flexible structure, that you would keep it fully flexible, so people could contract in and out virtually at will. Which makes ownership of property a real challenge. Would it be like a marriage, where when it breaks up all the property gets divided into his and hers? Or more like corporate stock where you can buy and sell shares of it, but the unit goes on uninterrupted? And it would have major societal impacts on lots of things we might not think about. The size of houses. The size of cars. Things like that. It's an interesting theory, but don't hold your breath waiting for some government to implement it!
