How to protect assets going into marriage

[waynward]

Put things in a Crpytocurrency wallet. That way it can''t be seized, found out about and opened only by someone who doesn't knows the password.

But other than that.....DON'T DO IT MAN!!! Marriage is a trap. I'm grateful that I dodged that bullet now when I see my friends and family get their balls squeezed and made to be a dancing simp monkey.

I have quit the hobby and I am now in a serious relationship with a woman I love, and am now considering getting engaged this summer or shortly after (serious, not trolling). I’m a pragmatic guy, and knowing what we all know about the family court system, I don’t want to get divorce raped if things go bad(especially in the first few years or so). I have $1M in an investment account that I want kept separate for me, that will still be there in the event of us divorcing. How do I go about this in the simplest, legally effective way (other than not getting married)? Also, my parents are elderly and I may be getting an inheritance during this time, not sure if she can go after that and I should be concerned ? Thanks brothers.

They want to stretch out your suffering....

Protecting your assets in marriage is akin to protecting your ass in prison. Try as you may, you're still going to get fucked.

And by your signature picture you have, I say a man would marry the woman in your sig, only to discover that she is wearing a corset to hide her image. Once the corset comes off then she looks different.
Is that marriage?

Can you and the future Mrs. live in separate apartments until she has the kid?

Doesn't work. This guy supported a woman.
She refused to sign any agreement
She refused marriage
Lived apart
No kids
Still got IIRC 6 million, 600K over 10 years. Also I think there is a link to this on this thread.

Walk away. You have already earmarked the relationship for failure. This won't be the popular answer or the one you want to hear but it is the only one that is right.

Spend all your money hiring lawyers to protect it and you will have nothing left. You don't need to legally marry to be seen as a married couple. Common law relationships are recognized as legal relationship in the eyes of the Canadian Courts. Cohabitation for up to 1 year or longer Is seen as being legally married, save yourself the hassle of changing last names and the cost of license.

If one of parties is the sole provider depending on length of time together, the sole provider could be ordered to maintain his dependent's lifestyle that she was used to.

Both parties should keep all their assets separate open a joint account and each deposit a set amount to cover mutual living expenses and mutual investments. You now have a joint asset keep the two assets separate and things should be fine.

My opinion is if someone is more worried about their money they can't really truly love someone cause they care more about their money then what loving someone means.

Being single has it's advantages, one doesn't have to worry about what's theirs.

If you need legal advice talk to a good lawyer. The good ones are not cheap but are worth it if things go wrong. Do not rely on legal advice from members of this board.

Sorry, but i DON'T think your ready to get married. If you are thinking like this before your even married imagine what would go through your mind once you are.

 

[NotADcotor]

I would never get married to anyone without setting things up to protect myself if things go bad. I don't care who it is or how much I love her or how awesome she is. I just refuse.
Granted I don't want and never wanted children, if I did the whole marry a housewife and have her stay at home and shit out kids thing I would feel different.
Otherwise fuck that. If something doesn't happen, the prenups don't do anything, and if something does happen [and things can happen to the best of marriages] than I am protected as well as I can be.

I always found this to be nucking futs myself.

Having crashed and burned a few times, I will offer my own tainted opinion ...

First : Unless you are a zillionaire and suggest your prenup is designed to help isolate you corporate assets from personal - you are telling your beautiful bride that you think it is wise to prepare for the inevitable failure of the marriage because the 'love you for ever and ever' is predicated on her not gaining weight or you finding a new sex toy.

Second: If she is all for a prenup, chances are she has assets you aren't aware of and you might want to rethink your position.

Third: Resolve - you have a dick ..

... everyone knows a man does not have enough blood to operate both a brain and a dick at the same time. What if she cries or says no ?

Four: Blood sucking divorce attorneys

Even if your ex seems reasonable at first , her blood sucking divorce attorney will turn her against you. Iron clad agreements don't dissuade these guys because they run on the clock. They will piss $100K of fees you ultimately will get dinged while determining the split of the lawn furniture.

Five: Escape

As rational as you seem now - you hit a point where you just want it to end. You are battling hard, fatigue sets in ... you see the bicycle, a back pack .... campgrounds are only 4 hours away .. peace and quiet ... who can resist ?

No suggestions - just my own observations.

See a psychiatrist before getting married.

Just curious - did you go for the prenup ?

 

[NotADcotor]

One argument vs marriage.

No, now I'm on the fence about the whole marriage thing in general.
