And really, polygamy is allowed as much as I know; it’s just that most people decide that they only have one true love. Personally I’d find it difficult to spend time with more than 1 spouse.
No it's not, that's why we're having this thread.

1. Who would take whose last name? Or would they just compound their last names into some kind of multi-barreled FrankenName? Or would they keep their own last names?
2. How would sleeping arrangements work?
3. If they have a child, what would the child’s birth certificate look like? How would the child address their parents? What would parent-teacher conferences look like?
4. If one person wanted out, but everyone else wanted to remain married, then how would the divorce work? Who would get custody of the kids?
This is confusing to me.

1. They can do whatever they want, just like normal marriage (you don't need to change your name when you get married)
2. Depends on the people involved. Some people prefer sleeping in the same room in giant beds, some people prefer sleeping in the same room with multiple beds, some prefer people having their own rooms that are open to other people moving around too, etc...
3. A birth certificate always lists the biological parents regardless of marital status (Unless one party or the other doesn't want their name on it). The child would address their parents however they want or however their parents decide, just like how it's done with monogamous parents. Parent-teacher conferences would look like how they do now.
4. We don't know, that's why we have this thread

Also, friendly reminder that a lot of right-wing politicians do seem strangely reluctant to abolish child marriage in the United States, and child marriage seems to go hand in hand with religious traditionalism rather than secular social progressivism.
Meanwhile, they're claiming that the left is the side that would support child marriage, all the while, the Right currently has and supports Roy Moore...

Golly, that seems to be a tough question.
The ‘polygamous’ marriage can work out like a polygynous marriage except the marriage mates can either be male or female, and they are all married to one person who can be a male or a female.
Thus, if someone wants to divorce, then they only need to divorce with the one they married. The one who wants a divorce isn’t married with everyone in the marriage, anyway.
And to divide the kids, can’t the male/female and the divorcing one work out a simple agreement on the kids they bred together?

No it wouldn't because areas like the US don't follow African Tribal law or Sharia law.
