My cousin, who lives in California is in a custody battle with her husband. Though he is surprisingly good with their daughter, he is horrible to my cousin. He is verbally abusive and threatening. When things were at their worst, she met another man and fell in love with him. Her new man is wonderful to the child she already has. Now she is pregnant with his child.
Her husband is telling her he is going to get soul custody now. Could this situation really affect her custody chances, or is he just trying to scare her? She is a great mother and will do anything for her children.

Will a pre-nup agreement and not having any children with the lady I marry prevent me from the following ( if the pre-nup is done right) ?

- Alimony
- 50% split of all of my life’s savings
- 50% split of my house

I have a lady friend and she had told me that she would like to get married me, but then I thought about how screwed I will be if a few months later she suddenly goes nuts and takes me to court for a division of my "assets" (or maybe it was her intention all along to take me to the cleaners?)

I was just thinking: "No problem, I’ll just have her sign a pre-nup and that’s fine, if she finds a new man she likes better in 3 years we can just wave goodbye as friends, I can try to support her or a few more months until she is firmly settled with her new hubby, and then she can have a great life with who ever she wants to be with, but I just don’t want to lose half of what I have when she decides she wants a "bigger and better deal", as what happened to a friend of mine 2 years ago.

What’s your advice?
I’m an engineer, and in my job I have to hope for the best but always plan for the worst.

This saved my life more than once when others told me the power was off when in fact there still was 600 volts in the mains.

If I trusted others 100% as you said, I would be fried bacon right now.

I am a long term sufferer of manic depression and things got so bad in January I attempted Suicide. It was a stupid thing to do but never the less it happened. My wife and I are divorced and there is a new man on the scene. My wife has residency but not custody of our two children. Now that she is moving her boyfriend into the matrimonial home I should receive the payment from our homes equity as stated in our mediation agreement of £15,000 plus compounded interest over 4 years of 4.65% but my wife says she will have to sell the house. Plus to make it worse she won’t let me see our children, she says i could kill them, and they are the only thing in my life worth living for. What should I do?

My new man handed his ex wife her papers on Christmas Day & I handed mine to my ex husband on the 19th Jan, so I’m wondering how long is it best to wait before I can date him.

been separated from husband for 3 years now, we have no kids and no properties, he has now a kid with the woman he was cheating with when we were together, right now I dont know his whereabouts, I need divorce so I can marry the new man who is his total opposite and loves me unconditionally…please help

When he died he left his half of the house to his children, but not until my mother died or sold the house. My mother has now found a new man friend who was also married before,. He has sold all his furniture and moved in with my mother. What would happen if my mother died, would he be entitled to any of the house? Would he have tenancy rights? If he died would his family have a claim on the house?
