And how many people shoulda kept it in their pants?

That's nice.

Didn't but wish I did. Next time, yes.

Didn't have a prenuptial agreement & won't made a difference even if I did.

It would take a lot for me to get married again. I'd have to be so sure he was the right guy, or maybe for a greencard.

no prenuptial agreement needed. we've been seperated now for close to 2 1/2 years and we're still really good friends...just didn't work out.

we have absolutely no financial claims from each other.

otoh if some b!tch that i had mistakenly married tried to fu<k me over on money, i'd rather see her 6 feet under than pay a single cent.

meh. i'm happy the way things are now. i don't think i'll ever marry again.

It is. I know people like that and they are annoying when this topic is brought up. This isn't about *love* and *trust* since I don't think you'll find many couples who were once married and now divorced who didn't think they had those things. Its a practical matter not an emotional one and some people are incapable of discussing it without bringing it in.

Avoiding something like this is at the heart of the issue:


And he's a liberal......

And I am ON the lollercoaster right now.

Sup Mr.Original?

Oh no!

It's Hanks - he's out to get me!



Edit: Or was there some innate quality of that phrase that somehow defines your brilliant creative mind?

kinda makes you wonder...huh. you're right, it's about people who are loving and trusting. BIG difference.



arrghhhhh

LOOOL. okay. i give up. yes i'm a liberal. happy now?

yeah, and what's so funny exactly?

It's just that your subconscious is such a cramped place!

Oh - good call!



I wish I'd done it on purpose...

My parents have signed a prenup and they are very happily married ... still
It even helped to work out some troubles concerning taxes and all.

Is that even a word?



I'm lawling over this word!

All you people can grok off.

Aw.

In't he cute, de widdle spaceboy...?

i don't understand those who got a divorce and then married to somebody else. marriage gone bad is a PITA.

I guess.

That's why I'm not planning on getting divorced

prenups are for billionaires and alimony is an outdated concept.

you a billionaire, cap'n?

Not true. Pre-nups separate financial and OTHER assets that each party brings into the marriage. It is actually a protection for both involved. i.e. My wife, should anything happen to me, would not be responsible for my debt. No pre-nup she would have to pay off all my credit cards if I died.

interesting point..

Bingo. That helped my parents a lot. Things like this can happen if you have a business of your own.

Prenups are worthless if your wife drains your bank accounts and charges $28,000 on credit cards before you get divorced. You hafta remember that you're still married and liable for all debts as long as you're married.

My advice is to NOT get married if money is more important than your future wife.

Don't believe everything your lawyer tells you... Unless yours is a lot better than mine. Creditors don't give a sh!t what's in your divorce decree. If it's joint debt, with both your names on it, you both are still responsible for it... Or at least that's the rude awakening I received after my divorce in Colorado. I'm sure I could've hired another lawyer and battled it out, but it was easier just to pay the amount in question and make the whole thing go away.

Married again now... No prenup.

Yes, with both your names on it. That was where you went wrong. Not your lawyer.
Creditors can come after you because of her actions. If she has her name on your car, your business, and your home they can seek to acquire what is owed to them by going after those assets. If you bought that home, car, and own that business separate with funds designated outside the marital assets and your prenuptial took that into account then things would have gone better for you.
Your liability for her credit card debt can by limited by a prenuptial and stop her from spending your money or stop creditors from considering you attached to it. So yes, yours sucked and more specifically you did not address the issue before hand. If you did not specify that this was one of the things you wanted your prenuptial to do then it is your fault. Therefore that debt is considered community debt and you are SOL. A good prenup would have specified the details of the division of marital debt once you separate. Your divorce attorney sucks too. You could have made a claim that the debt she racked up should be considered a wasted asset and had the settlement offset to make up for it.
Arizona is a community property state that considers all assets and obligations accumulated while married to have equal ownership as well. If I were you I would go talk to someone to see what a post-nuptial agreement could do for you.

Money is always an issue so long as it gets you food, shelter, and a better life. Your advice Spiff is stupid.

I bet that a she wishes she had one now, and she isn't a billionaire.

Any American Macnn users looking for Mac loving wife?

I guess my lawyer is better. But then again, I said debt I had BEFORE the marriage. Of course any debt you accrue DURING the marriage you are both responsible for.
