I’m going through a divorce and I was wondering do I have to wait a WHOLE year to get a uncontested divorce in NC?? We have no assets, kids, cars or money. And both of us agree on the matter!

I know technically it would not be considered a prenuptial agreement since we are married, but I am looking to protect my finances after my husband and I divorce. We make an equal amount of money, but I have put more financially into the relationship, because I had more money (savings and money my father left me) when we were first married. I basically used a lot of my money to pay off debts he had (including back taxes), so we started our marriage clean. This was close to thou. Then I had a house which was almost paid off, I sold it and we bought a bigger house which I used my money for the downpayment and closing costs and also bought all the furniture in the new house. All of our cars, except for one I paid off with money I had after selling my home. Just through out our marriage, I am the one that goes into my savings for vacations, childcare (aupair) expenses or anytime extra cash is needed to fix things around the house or something. My husband has no savings account. I know some will say we are married and what is mine is his, believe me I tried that in our marriage and we had a joint account where we had saved almost 10 thou to get an au pair and he took almost all of it to pay off his credit cards to help him get a better credit rating so we could buy a house. After that, I did not try the joint account thing anymore. His credit rating was bad and so his name is not on the house, but he does pay half the mortgage each month. I put so much more financially into the house and our possessions, it would be unfair for him to walk away with half. Also, because he was the one that really wanted this house, I think it is unfair for him to be able to walk away and I get stuck with the mortgage. It is high, but I could afford it each month, though things will be very tight. I want to write up something saying that the house, cars and most of the furniture is mine and also him agreeing he will pay more than the child support guidelines for our state. I tried to look up how much he would be ordered to pay in child support, but our income level is such that a judge will have to decide. The highest amount on the guidelines would not even be 1/4th of his monthly income. That is not fair! I want him to continue to pay half of the mortgage. This may seem unfair since he will not live here and the house is not in his name, but he will live mtg free at his father’s house and I will will the house to him if something happens to me (after all he will have to take care of the kids) other than that, I will say when the kids are older, I will sale the house and after my deductions for my huge downpayments, we can split the equity. We were living in a home that was almost paid for and he was the one that wanted to move to have a home in his name. It didn’t work out that way, but that should not mean he walks away so easily. If I did get him to sign something like that, would it be legally binding?
Postnuptial! Thanks and a link! He will sign it. I have no worries on that!
Jealous much, Linda?

Hello,

My husband and I are considering a divorce. We’ve kept all of our money/finances separate. The only joint property we have is the house. The cars, 401Ks, IRAs, everything else is separate. Would he be entitled to any inheritance that I receive? We both make about the same for our salaries.

Our company recently split up ( around 2 years ago due to division of assets through the will of our grandfather ) and we’re in the business or marketing Auto parts for for cars/trucks. We get some of our products from one factory and we brand it under one name. Company A (bigger company) would want to control the brand since we have developed it but Company B would want to sell it as well.

Would it be possible to form a strategic alliance with COmpany B ?

relationship of 10 years or more.

Assume every asset is in the males name, they have children (2), they’ve been together 13 years but not formally married.

When splitting up, would the girlfriend have any claims on the assets in the males name IE house, cars?

As I understand a long duration of being together can implicate a marriage but to have it recognized the male would need to agree to this and he hasn’t. Would this woman who was with him for over 10 years have rights to assets similarily to a woman getting a divorce or no rights afforded in a divorce?
How would a male prevent this from happening, he thought he already did by not getting married and keeping everything in his name. Is there a preventative measure to ensure the duration of a relatioship has no affect on asset division assuming there’s no marriage. Does seem fair to impose the same or even remotely similar rules as a divorce.

She thinks I do not do enough around the house and she is through. She filed for bankruptcy and the house and cars are all in my name. What can i do now to protect the house and our 4 kids The kids are ages 8 6 5 4. I make 2 1/2 times the salary she does. I know the mother gets custody most of the time. I have been told never leave the house.

she waited until their only child was out of the house. he has buisness that just incurs debt and also has run up his c. cards. she is a nurse and willl retire in a few years. is illinois a no fault divorce state where he will get half of everything she has earned and will she also be responsible for his debt? just so you know, he hasn’t contributed in anyway for their house/cars/kid university…etc…..
thx.
I just can’t believe that she would be responsible for someone like that…call me naive…
yeah, he’s kind of a jerk, and I can’t stand that he would get away w/ all that…and I’m not exagerating when I say he has not contributed in anyway..to any expense they have as a family!!!! thanks for the web site……

I am helping my mom get a divorce she has not been living with him in 4+ years. they have nothing together ie house cars etc… He is a jerk. where do we go from here??
