I was just wondering about this recently and wonder what you all think.

One other thing I was wondering is; some people say that prenups aren’t necessarily a sign of mistrust in the relationship. Some feel that it genuinely helps, and if the partner involved agrees with it, it means they really love their future husband or wife.

I think it’s a sign of mistrust for this reason; with a prenup, if the couple feels that they may divorce in the future, then they don’t trust that they will be fair with splitting the money, etc, with each other. Why marry someone that you feel may cut throat you after a divorce? That doesn’t sound like trust. Shouldn’t one marry someone they know would never do that to them because they really do love and care for them?

If not, shouldn’t everyone just get long term girlfriend/boyfriends with preparations to trade spouses like trading cars after 10 or 15 years?
Thanks for all of your well thought out answers. In response, you’ve all generally stated that Prenup’s are good and not a sign of mistrust. I think Prenup’s or marrage isn’t for everyone. I think it all depends on the individual and what they want in life. I think it takes a very strong bond for a couple to know they will never divorce or need a prenup. A bond with the same strength that some parents have for their children for life..the bond of knowing you’ll always be family and will never harm one another in any way including finacially or physically, etc. Not all families have that bond, some do and they are lucky. Clearly many spouses don’t have that bond, but some do, and it takes a lot to know you even have that bond to begin with. Some couples try to act like they have that bond when they clearly don’t, and get divorced. It’s probably the most difficult thing to obtain in life, which is why I think many people may find it unbelievable to achieve.

Just my thoughts.

Most religions condemn it . ….. people say that they need to test drive the car before buying it ….

Isn’t it embarrassing that we are comparing human beings with cars which are disposable asset .

My friend married this guy in a rush and never moved in with him. He has a house, she is still renting a place in Boston. She has put both her cars on his name to pay less for insurance. She wants to divorce now, but she never signed a prenup and he won’t give her the cars back…. what would you suggest to be done?

Wife wants to think about the relationship… Seems to have lied twice in the last two days. Wants time to think. Have joint everything (accounts, credit cards, cars, etc). she does not work, and does a lot of volunteer work. Is she doing things she should not, cheating?? Help.

she is filing an apeal ,,,after the cort ruled and divided the assets ,,,house cars etc
time ,,,DAYS ,,FROM when the decision was rulled or signed by the judge,,,when the judgement was entered

Valentines day were going to be together for about two weeks. Hes 18.

I know he smokes cigarettes but I’m not yet legal age to buy him thoes and its not very romantic.

I know he loves cars, and movies.

I’ve been pondering on what to get him because I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want flowers and chocolate. =D

Any gift card ideas, or specific items, meal ideas, romantic ideas.

Were going to San Fran on valentines day so we can get away, any thing I can suprise him with?

My husband and I want to get a divorce. No kids. No joint properties. We’ve only been married for about 10 months now. We are basically taking our stuff (cars, etc) that we brought before the marriage. We do have some separate student loans that we are separately paying off. We already discussed and decided these issues.

Question #1: can we just leave the property section blank as basically have no property or debts to consider in relation to the divorce?

Question #2: I have a job offer in another state that is a bit far away. If I accept the offer, it will start in about 2 weeks. I want to know how many court appearances, etc. to make during the entire divorce process if the case is uncontested?
I would hate to fly back and forth from the other state that I intend to move, that would be too costly w/ flight/hotel/rental car. Also, I wouldn’t want to take a lot of time off from work as it would jeopardize my chance of getting a promotion, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I am one of those kids, and am in a state where assets are equally divided among spouse and kids upon death intestate. (no will) if only her name was on those hidden assets, if he goes to sell those assets, will he get in trouble for hiding them? I know I am probably entitled to a division. He has not shown us any titles to cars in question, he has been cagy, causing us kids to be angry and suspicious of him. help!

I have been separated from my wife since Jan09 and currently deployed in Iraq. We are wanting to finalize the divorce upon my return. We have two kids 17 & 16, we own our home, a few cars, the usual stuff. Is there paperwork that can be completed that will assist in the process and speed up our time line or do I need to be there for everything.

I am already legally divorced. My ex-husband and I divorced back in October using the paperwork the court gave us. We simply just filled it out and filed it without lawyers being involved and the judge signed off on it. The only thing was that in the division of assets we werent specific to the letter. Both cars were in his name but I was noted as the one to recieve the Infinity. My ex-husband died back in December and because we weren’t specific to the letter the state took a lot of my things. I have paid off the Infinity and recieved the title to the vehicle from the bank just to find out now that I cannot change the title over to my name because in the divorce decree we did not put the VIN # on the court paperwork. How can I amend my divorce decree to include this?
