How do you protect your collection before you get married? Divorce can kill a hobby!

[jonny88]

You're wrong. If you own something before you're married, it is yours alone if the marriage dissolves. Anything bought with community property DURING the marriage is divided on divorce.

l dont believe that is it really true.because last year my friend who worked for my dad went threw a divorce, he was married just over a year and he had to pay here half of what his house was worth and he paid that house off before he met her and she was awarded half.so why did that happen.

I kept everything in my divorce. My ex didnt want any of my crap

Same here.

"Nerds!"

Just kidding. Congrats, though.

Don't buy **** jobs for women you may divorce.

I will give you a hint on how to know if she is the one.

Your most-thought thought will be something like this:

"Damn! It pisses me off how much she gets away with knowing that I will never leave!"

Hahaha! Nice!

I dont agree with people that say you wouldnt be ready for marriage as well...........it doesnt hurt to think "what if" in any circumstance. I mean, even if you got married and she cheated on you, and you wanted a divorce, she could still end up with half your crap even though it wasnt your fault. So, even if your not worried about messing up a marriage, some times, ____ happens, and its inevitable. By best advice to you is, get all your major grails now, before you get married (As what I would like to do ) and get a solid prenup.

meh just don't get married. if you get married you'll have to shower daily, and eat dinner on a plate at the dining room table instead of out of the pan/pot over the garbage can.

I think that couples should agree that things they brought into the relationship should leave with that person if things ever end badly. I guess you can't rely on someones word but I that's what I would do. It was the agreement in our relationship. Though, that will never end badly.

knock on wood...........ppl change over the years in the course of a long relationship, marriage or not.

Hmmm...interesting. I will have to ponder this for a while. I never really thought to put all that effort in to keeping the floor clean before.


But I suppose my wife might yell at me less...

Just eat outside, then you don't have to bother with the food falling into a specific place. Just let it fall on the ground and the birds/rats will eat it. You don't need a pan for that, either.

thats the way it should be.my dad has a rocky marriage and some new big items hes buying he puts in my name so if he gets divorced she cant take half.they were going to get divorced last year and my dad gave me $50,000 to put in my bank so it was legaly mine.he did that so its $50,000 less she could get from him,ive since given it back to him because there not splitting up because my dad will loose half of everything and he has a lot of stuff and paid for everything including there $400,000 house wich he would half to give here half,so he cant afford a divorce so they grind it out l guess.but thats the way it should be if he paid every penny for the house it should be his if she paid for the furniture it should be hers.you should leave with what you bought.

 

[LordAzrael]

This is really pretty simple. If she's "The One" then you don't even have to think about a possible future split and her taking half of your collection.

But even more simple than that... Hypothetically, if you wouldn't trade your collection and material possessions for her RIGHT NOW then the relationship isn't even real in the first place. The fact that you're even thinking this way is probably more telling than you know.

Let us know how you feel in 10 years time when you lose half your collection along with half your house/car etc. Having a realistic view of risk isn't silly - having your head up your ass is.

Wow King went deep, so much wisdom from a unlikely source...
