Protecting assets before getting married.

Prenups can and do get tossed because civil courts have a greater degree of flexibility. I've seen guys get soaked from it a few times.

A guy I used to work with had a irrevocable trust set up well before the marriage. The car house and everything else was under that so on paper he owned nothing. They even rented the house from the trust with a legal rental agreement and everything. He did wind up getting divorced with no kids involved and wound up not paying anything.

On the other hand my crazy ex girlfriends husband set up a fake church and 'donated' his entire check to the church before taxes. Crazy ex was 'employed' as the secretary. My best guess is that he thought they'd look equal on paper if a divorce ever happened. Instead she threw him under the bus and divorced him while he was on trial for tax evasion. Thus she cost him his medical license and put him back in the financial stone age all at once.

Long story short: A good lawyer beforehand is probably better than any 'innovative' strategy you might think up.

Best way to protecting your assets and your sanity is to NEVER, EVER get married!!!!!!!!!!

Problem solved!

Gentlemen... please tell me why the fuck you would risk your health, sanity, assets, and finances with marriage in today's world?

You know what was one piece of advice I heard a few years ago that I wish I would have known before I got married? Now happily divorced btw...

"Before you get married, seek out a good divorce lawyer. Make an appointment with them and have a consultation without your future to be wife. That's when you will realize what's at risk and how fucked you can potentially be during a divorce."

Don't get married. That's the only good advice you can give. Prenups only prevent financial rape/enslavement for the first few years. After that, they become worthless. There is no legal document that reads, "you can't financially rape me". Divorce was designed to be as punishing on men as possible. Marriage was designed to ensure men's disposable income falls into the hands of women and the state. If one reads the historical jurisprudence, that is what one will find. That's the harsh reality. Everything else is total BS. Marriage is nothing more than a heavily obfuscated Venus Fly Trap.

Step 1 - don't get married. Step 2 - have anyone you cohabitate with sign a lease/roommate contract. Step 3 - keep what's yours kang.

Prenuptial or LLC

Anyone who says prenup is ignorant. Prenups are not even worth the paper they are printed on. They get overturned and thrown out in a heartbeat by a judge. Prenups lull you into a false sense of security.

Marriage is a form of financial slavery for men if shit goes south or a cage if you ever decide to leave your partner.

Question: Does alimony concept applicable for divorced gay couples?

That's where double citizenship plays in handy.

Transfer your assets overseas/in your second country if you even want to marry in the feminist countries.

But the question is why would any sane person want to marry the modern feministized person when the odds are stacked against them?

Do you think that chick who treated you like you didn't exist in high school or hated you on the first day on campus has good intentions when contacting you decades later, from nowhere?

Do women really do this all the time in America? ;-;

SKRyanrr · 2023-01-26T04:56:26+00:00

This is why I'm never getting married, at least legally. I don't want the government to fuck with my personal life. Also consider a prenuptial agreement.

Prenup. Prenup. Prenup.

Even if you don’t have much, it’s always worth reaching out to an attorney for when you acquire more.

You could register your assets under a trusted family members name.

My niece recently married and her now husband made sure she paid off her 170K student loans and, with the money he saved living with her in a small apartment for four years bought a house six months before the marriage and put it in his name only.

Now all she can get is the appreciation on the house during marriage.

When I heard what he had done, before the marriage, I told her what he was doing was a big red flag as he was preparing for divorce.

She married him anyway.

He's an engineer and she's an architect and I bet he wants her to go back to work right after the babies come.

Check lawyer for local laws, but if it's premarriage and you don't mix in martial funds it wouldn't be a factor in a divorce.

Offshore company strategy were nothing is in your name.

The only way to protect yourself against this is to never get married and don’t live in a common law marriage country or state. Make sure assets you want protected are in your name only and NEVER disclose financial information to anyone especially not a gf or long term partner. Keep it secret, keep it safe. Personally id rather not live with my gf so there is zero risk of losing my home.
