    If you had any idea when you posted, your sentence would have been more precise than that useless "much lower." You went into Google mode when called out on it.

    Correct, 1/2 of ALL not first.....but still not THAT far off. Would you recommend someone to invest 1/2 their money into a company that has a 40% prospect of going bankrupt? I wouldn't

    This is all reminding me of the standup Chris Rock had about pre-nups. His opinion was the less you have the more you need one. If you have 100 million, and the wife wants half, big deal you aren't starving.

    If you have 30,000 and she wants 15, you might have to kill her.

    No I went to google to find the article I read about it awhile ago.

    I don't keep a stash of a link to everything I read just to please you when I say someone is wrong.

    Yeup. And they can't visit you in the hospital nor you can't visit.

    Depends on the company. You can't just look at rates and make a determination on its chance for success. If you do then you aren't looking deep enough to get any accuracy.

    Im married, have been for 8 or 10 years or something. Im 36. In todays day and age there is a great chance your wife makes more money then you. If she doesn't you are doing wrong. Either work less or marry up. Ha.

    My wife's dad is an anesthesiologist. Was married for 25 yers. His old wife got about 8K a month when they divorced about 10 years ago - you can bet your ol' grey balls he pre-nupted with the new wife (with four kids and great investments it was the smart thing to do - protects those assets).

    New wife likely would have bailed a few times already (she is bat shit crazy lady and he would be real hard to live with) but if she does she dont get those trips to Mexico anymore. My wife insited on the pre-nup and the new wife could not act offended by the pre-nup because then it would be evidence that she was in it for the $$ (which she probably is).

    Works both ways....

    We are older so we won't be having kids. She has her own house and retirement account. I have mine. Just don't want to pay alimony especially in no fault California.

    I gotta believe I can get a simple uncontested prenup for under $5k...

    And let me guess ... he let the pre-nup work go to the lowest bidder, you know the guy who will do any legal work at a fraction of the price of other attorneys, maybe he even went on line and filled out one of those one-size-fits-all-regardless-of-which-state-you're-in forms posted by bitchcakes, right? No?

    and it is scary.

    Not all states treat this equally. In PA, you can live together for a long time, but, as long as you don't present yourself as being married in any way, common law doesn't pertain. However, if you present yourself as being married (file taxes as married but filing single/joint, tell insurance company you're married to get lower rate, etc), regardless of how long you've been together, then common-law applies.

    Sounds like my life circa 1997.

    Short story long, I married again in 2004, and $HE was the one that needed a prenup :wow: and she was MUCH hotter than wife #1. On a whim I facetube stalked the ex about a year ago... Let's just say that time hasn't been kind. :Puke:


    Bottom line: It gets better. :beer:

    Oh shit, you're in Cali?! Yeah you better get that paper........

    California's divorce rate is so high they wouldn't report it publicly for a while I think, it had to be researched by a private law firm
