Question

Asset/money matters distribution protection

What is the name of your state? I do not live in USA but in a commonwealth country. I would like to hear some advise before I pay a lawyer.

hi
i'm planning to get married but I've seen many of the cases where marriage end up in divorce as well as the asset/money/company gets divided eventhough the other party did not put equal efforts into it.

I'm wondering if there is any contract or agreement we (me and my girlfriend) can sign to protect our own money-matters. So that if we ever to get divorced, we still hold on to what we have worked for.



thanks in advance.

Hold it right there -- this site is US law only. No one can give you valid advice here.

Here in the good ol' US of A we call those "prenuptial agreements." See if your local attorney/solicitor/whatever can make up one of those for you. Good luck.

Some American women are not perfect, I admit. Quite a few are Remarkably Superior Beings, and you would be lucky to marry one of those fine women.

Other than that, Bali, you are being naughty again!
