I can't argue with your biological imperatives.

Over 60% of marriages end up in divorces...
P.S - I really don't think Paul McCartney is kicking himself at all. It could have been much worse - she could have stayed!
You people are funny, when we get together with someone, the last thing on our mind is how shall we devide the money if we break up... then before you know it, this whole break up happens and you find yourself with nothing but a pair of socks because the courts said so... lol
I personally dont believe in marriages full stop. It usually makes bad sense financially. Especially when one of the partner's has more or makes more money than the other.

In that case, I suggest abstinance.

Money talks, ******** walks.
I cant afford to live comfortably and pay the mortgage alone, I mean I CAN but what for?
We are still young and she is still unsure of what she wants to do with herself (she has dual citizenship).

Thank you very much for this post. It confirmed a lot in my mind.IF, if you want to be completely sure simply don't get her pregnant while she lives with you, and make sure she keeps working. That way the courts will find she is able to continue to support herself once your relationship breaks down and she will not be seen to be financially dependant on you. They only divide assets to ensure no party is disadvantaged by the relationship split. If she has your baby and can no longer work full time and you split up the courts will ensure she is not disadvantaged because of the circumstances you have put her in.
Men who want their wives to stay at home and not work, while raising their children have to expect that if the relationship ends they will have to share the joint assets with the wife - who is usually left holding the baby so to speak, and much worse off financially.
For a couple who have only lived together for 6 - 12 months and don't have children I would very much doubt the court will allocate her any of your assets, and I don't even think it would cross her mind to try - seeing as she would have to engage a lawyer and be up for many thousands of dollars in legal fees before it even went to court.
It is clear we live on different planets but if you are that paranoid then why not let your place out as pure ip and then rent a place with her? Simple. Don't discuss you finances with her. Keep it simple.
Personally I like to be in a relationship with some-one I trust and love.
Re-read the defacto laws. You don't need to be legally married for the asset sharing to kick in. Don't like it? Live in a country with no defacto laws. Or find a woman with the same amount of assets as you, because a woman with more money than you would think YOU'RE after her money.
Paul Mc Cartney is kicking himself too now. A guy at work owned his house (paid off the mortgage completely) prior to getting married, how that he divorced, his ex is taking 2/3 of if the house.
Mate I've asked the same type of question here and got the same type of responses from the same people. I for one know exactly where you are coming from. I have no problem whatsoever splitting assets that are accumulated after commencing a relationship, but it's utter ******** that you can spend years and years doing the hard yards workwise, overtime, second jobs, savings your *** off etc and then have someone come along and claim half of it. That so many people on here seem to baulk at what is a fairly important concept (asset protection) is quite amazing to me.That is fine Alex. If you think that money is very easy to come across for you, then it should not be a problem, you may as well sign over half of your stuff right now to your wife, itll save time for the future.
