Me and my fiance are having a lot of problems. It would be easy for us to split if it were just him and I, but we have a 9 month old baby in the mix which makes things really really hard. We are not affiliated with any church and I would feel odd calling random churches asking for a minister to counsel us. Could someone plz tell me how I would go about getting this started and how much does a minster charge. I also would like to know if they would be judgmental of us since we have a child, live together but are not married.

Would you ask your fiance to sign a prenup?

So my roomate has 2 daughters with his ex fiance. She has 3 children all together 2 of them are his. He wants to claim only one of his daughters and let her claim the other because he thinks this is fair. She refuses and says if he tries to claim her that it will fall back on him and the IRS will come after him. He pays a week child support. He has never missed a payment and is completely up to date. He has custody of them on every other weekend. If he claims one of his daughters will he get in trouble?

I’ve decided to make a nice candlelit dinner for Valentine’s day for my fiance. This poses a couple challenges: First of all, I’m not the greatest cook. Secondly, he’s vegan (but not too strict about it). I need a recipe for a delicious dinner that can be made with simple ingredients and techniques. The recipe can contain milk and eggs, but I’d like to keep these to a minimum if possible. Any vegans out there have any favorite recipes they’d like to share?

I made an apt for counseling with my fiance our issues are arguing comunication and he has a history of being physically abusive wat can i expect at the first session? Anyones experiences?

My fiance’s ex is telling people she has a restraining order against him. She lives in Maine and he lives in Washington. Is this possible? Or is it a bunch of made up crap? Thanks!

I was unfaithful in my marriage, so was my fiance. We were both in miserable marriages (not an excuse) and we were unhappy. I know soulmate is corny, but that is how we feel about each other. Our likes and dislikes are exactly the same. We truly love each other. We talk a lot about the mistakes we marde and how we can make this marriage happy and healthy with JUST each other. Can you recommend books or some sort of other thing that may help us trust each other and build a healthy marriage? We are going to start couple therapy in two weeks. Thank you!

I am scheduling an appt with a counselor and one of my issues is that my fiance smokes pot. We have children in our home. If she will have to report us I won’t bring up the issue. He doesn’t smoke in the home but I suppose he is still stoned when he interacts with the kids.
Thanks Ken – makes a lot of sense.

I am getting married to my fiance who is from a foreign country and comes from a poor family and education. Although I don’t think I will ever have to worry about it (I hope), I want to protect my assets in the event that things don’t work out between us.

Before, I go on with the question, I know that there are some who believe that you shouldn’t even get married if you have to consider a prenup, but to me it is just insurance because no one can predict what will happen several years down the road. It’s like questioning why we buy auto insurance. Might as well not buy a car if you’re not going to be careful with it right? Anyway, a divorce may not even be within an individual’s control, since it takes two to make the relationship work. So please just answer my question regarding the prenup and not your opinion regarding the need for a prenup in a healthy relationship… Thanks!

OK, FINALLY ON TO THE QUESTION:

I know that prenuptial agreements can protect an individual’s property which was obtained prior to marriage, but I was wondering whether prenuptial agreements can also specify how post marriage income and property will be separated. During our marriage, I expect that I will be bringing in 90+% if not all of the family income.

Also, in the event of a divorce, do the divorce proceedings depend on the state that I was married in or is it only the state where you are filing the divorce a factor? I know that you have to make the distinction between community property vs equitable distribution states. Will my prenuptial agreement carry the same level of validity whether I get married/divorced in one state or another?

Also I know that rules differ from state to state, and I would need to consult a lawyer, but I’m just hoping for some general answers here to get me started.

My fiance and I are getting married sept. 7th while I am on leave after completing AIT. He just finished AIT and is now stationed at Ft. Carson, Colorado while my orders are sending me to Bragg. I read somewhere that we wouldn’t get our orders changed to be with him (or vice versa) for at least a year. Is this true?
Can someone please explain the whole army-active duty married couples thing? I know there’s no guarantee that we will be stationed together. That’s all I know really.
