Are you drinking crc error, or on something. The house is going to be sold because he used it to prop up HIS failed business. Neither will get anything except he has money tucked away. Do you understand NOW? She has always worked. She has more nouse than him. You are WRONG yet again. Please...

You are still making wrong assumptions. Take your blinkers off. Your assumptions are all completely wrong. But if it makes you feel better to think all women are scheming, go right ahead. Perhaps this guy should have been a woman, as he is pretty good with the scheming. And yes, evidence can...

Sorry Mark. I was typing with a full head of steam up. I was not meaning you, and apologise that it looked like that. I was replying to the two previous posts, both of which were from the same member. I should have re-read my reply a little more carefully. I appreciate that you backed me up, as...

Talk about assumptions. You both take the cake. You are making up MY story with facts that are totally incorrect. But I'm sure the story sounds better your way. This woman and this man met while young, both had nothing. Over 22 years they worked hard, bought a house ten or so years ago for...

Is it fair that one acquaintence is soon to be divorced, due to finally having had enough of the emotional abuse and controlling nature of her husband. Of the million dollar house, she will get zip, zero, zilch. Of course, he has stashed away enough to keep him in the manner to which he is...

Sorry, but just couldn't be bothered..... It is an argument that cannot be won as both sides think they have been "done".

It was windsor who said that in one of his recent posts. Have another read maybe. He spoke about having to provide for an ex-partner to still live in Toorak if that is what she was used to, or something like that. Again, I don't know any "real" women who are slightly able to live in the same...

Why would females take offence, as surely it is the same deal if the woman brings more to the table. I don't know any woman who has been left in the same "manner to which she was accustomed" after a divorce, even one she has instigated. Curious to know about the child you already have, and...

Windsor, I agree with your trying to protect the assets you already have, and I would do exactly the same. Just try not to assume this new love of yours is a schemer, just because the old one was. Protect what you already have, but don't try to put so many obstacles in the path of building a...

Windsor, I think you are right to protect the assets you already have, but I think you have a very analytical way of looking at what your future wife might contribute and to say that you may "need to compensate her for lost earnings should you divorce" just sounds so callous. She will be your...

Agree entirely about sorting it our prior to getting hitched. If I was to enter into a new relationship now, I would want my assets protected from the outset. Once protected, I could then be as generous as I wished down the track without feeling like I was pushed into a corner and forced to hand...

Thanks Raddles. I agree with what you say and don't have a problem with it. I was just curious about Windsor (who started the thread) and whether he would want his future wife to have half of what they build together in their relationship. If they split in the future, would he be happy to keep...

This is the bit that intrigues me and particularly regarding some of the answers to this thread. In my case, if a court looked at our lives, they would say that I have not contributed in a "paid" sense for the past 15 years. However, I am the driving force behind our investing, and do all the...

Under your old name, plenty there.

Point taken Mark, but you have made it quite clear on numerous other posts that you think men get the pointy end of the stick, whilst I believe most women would be looking at things quite differently. And I agree with your view about protecting assets, no matter the gender.

Mark, do you know ANY MAN who has not been shafted??? I am all for protecting existing assets in case a marriage does not work out. Hubby and I both had about the same value of assets when we married, so it was not an issue. If he died, or if we divorced, and I entered into another marriage...
