how cum guys don't ever end up
with their ex-wife's stuff?
I can use 40 pairs of shoes for my next gf :D

in texas law, they can only take half of what you accumulated while married...the alimony is what is based on lifestlye while married... that seems very fair, and i have no problem with that...

It is like the death penalty.
I am ambivalent.

except that the person that makes more(at least in california) has to make up that 'half' so that means if your wife decides to quit her job so she doesn't have to work so now she can maintain that 'lifestyle' while not working...doesn't work out as well in practice as in theory.

you are right there. In Texas you get half the debt or assets from the marriage.

Not sure how the prenup thing works here. I am wondering if that would over ride the community property laws here

for sure because the courts are very unfair in dividing up property at least some of the time.

prenups = yes
why? = protect my a$$ets

I thought the duct tape takes care of that. Did you run out already?

I'll never run out, have a lifetime supply

Prenups override it, because you have sat down and detailed everything out beforehand including possible debts and who will pay for them. Or at least one should have.

I am capable of caring for myself, but I do not believe in them. If you believe you need one then you shouldn't get married, IMO. It shows a lack of belief in the relationship lasting and if you do not trust someone why marry them. In agape love you are supposed to leave and cleave unto one another in a oure trusting love. A prenup shows a lack in both.

I think a prenup is a wonderfully, wise idea
for peeps who don't wanna waste the time and
energy it normally takes to get to know the
the person that they're going to marry.

You really have to plan that impending break-up
and in the interest of wasting further time
and energy of a messy divorce it only makes sense
to pay a group of lawyers to sort out our problems
before they happen and save us the hassles of
feeling any emotional attachment to folks we
make promises to...

I mean everybody changes their mind
from time to time... it would be foolish
to assume that marriage vows are "real"
promises of commitment.

pffft!

I get a chuckle out of how many times Americans get married and burnt in one lifetime. I've met ppl in Vegas that had 4-5 failed marriages... all nasty "she got my stuff" kinda things. Do women always get the upper hand?
Can't help thinking of Homer...... DOH! X 5


Yes prenup... Don't leave home without it!

hahahaha
How practical are YOU? :-)

prenups = c.y.a.
Marriage is not all love, romance, and flowers, it's an actual contract, which can be broken.

So (jmo) leave with what you came with (if applicable), if you help me get further up in the food chain, you should be compensated, but to expect a handout just because you came along for the ride, sorry, don't think so.

For every attorney you can find to make one I can find one to break one.........seems like a waste of money to me......actually.......and ahve seen many torn to shreds in court......everyone as always should do what they wish......even if you think you are safe with one and feel its iron clad......its not iron clad.......and it depends on the attorney percentage of what they might receive on what they are willing to do to break one..... I've gotten finacially burned dating ........ think a before I date you contract might be ib order.......call it pre-date and maybe someone can find an attorney to pay to break that one too........JMO

{{{sea}}} just don't use my funds to find your attorney

You are definitely correct, but even if it only provides me with peace of mind and I want it stipulated and signed before marriage, it is my right, just as refusing to sign and finding another person to marry is the other party's right.

Right on babes, aww I cant use your funds to find my attorney? But.....but.....but I love you pls dont make me sign that pre-nup........I know we said we werent going to tell.......but I had to let it out of the closet dont be mad........LMAO

shhh you weren't supposed to let on until they signed the prenup
