Why Are You So Lame In Your Choices?

This has nothing to do with prenuptial agreement cuz it concerns the fortune that a person had BEFORE he got married but i'm talking about the money he'll earn DURING our time together, and this money is devided equally in all cases.

Oh boy are you confused, Elle. In most states, the spouse can't get his pre marital assets by law. The main purpose of a prenuptial agreement is to limit marital property (property acquired by one spouse during the marriage) by contract.

The law you describe seems to be community property distribution. I don't know where you are, so I'll assume California. Here is a brief description:

All property acquired by married persons while domiciled in California is classified as either community property or separate property. Generally the California marital property system is based on the principle that the husband and wife contribute equally to the accumulation of wealth during a marriage regardless of their respective salaries or income. In the absence of a premarital agreement (aka prenuptial agreement), all property acquired during marriage by the labor of either the husband or wife is community property that is owned equally by both spouses.

If a prenup couldn't modify division of assets acquired DURING the marrige, it would be worthless! So it's not, as you apparently think, divided equally in all cases.

US is crazy, what about Canada? or UK?
And what if you for instance get married in Canada/Uk and get divorced in the US?
What about the money you get if you get custody (of your children)?
And ok in the worst case scenario if he:
First: he divorces me
Second: we have no children or he gets custody
third: i don't get any of his money
fourth: i can't find another husband
---Then i'll still have my own job (education) so basically in the worst case scenario i'll become a middle class person just like i believe many of you are.
Yo and i can make some savings n my bank account while we are still living together *just in case*
wow i'm so smart!

Hahah. I think what you're talking about is "child support". It's meant to be used for supporting your children, not furthering your own pathetic self-centeredness.

That's true. And from what you've shared of yourself so far, I definitely think you are capable of budgeting and saving. Problem solved - phew!

That's not true, at least in Pennsylvania and Louisiana, I know that there is nothing that determines how you're supposed to spend that money.

[lovesjoyajm]

Oh, really? Is this some money in addition to child support or something in place of it?

Either way, why would you get money for getting custody of your children if there was no implication that the money is intended to take care of them? Whether or not there are laws specifying that it must be used for childcare.

[Junket]

I suppose most would assume that the parent would properly take care of their children so guidelines were never made on how much should be spent for food, or transportation, bills.

Some women pop out babies then just collect the child support from each father and buy themselves jewelry, clothes, and cars and let the kids run around in dirty raggedy clothes.

Whether or not there are laws specifying that it must be used for childcare.

but if you get lots of money this way (which you will if the income of their father is over a million) you can spend them on yourself as well.

Of course guidelines should be met for gold diggers like this one. ^

Or better yet, the father should gain custody.

Yea yea, her trolling is boring already.

No, (if you have children) you will most likely become a single mother living below the poverty line like lots of other single mum's out there. By the way your ex husband can always move countries and you won't recieve a single cent of child support payment. You will have to ration the time and money that you have between looking after your child and work. Day care centers aren't cheap these days. Factor in all the other living expenses for you and your child (including God forbid any hospital bills) and you will find yourself struggling. You will most likely not have a lot of time to look for another husband and single mum's are not exactly a hot property in the dating arena. You will become sadder and more bitter (some may think it's not possible given your current state, but it is).

Single mother?? HAHA i'm not an idiot, even IF this happens the child will either go to live with his daddy (i'll just leave him there and won't take back) or the orphanage. This way i can find a new husband more easily too. And i know lots of women who were around 40 who still managed to find rich husbands ( even having children with them which i won't anyway)
yes i'm a horrrrible and egoistic person (like an average MAN that is))) but i'm proud of that and in the end there's no "right" or "wrong" in life.
I only wanna have fun and reduce my problems that's the whole purpose in life-- to enjoy it. And i don't care bout others. (i only sometimes make the impression that i care so when i need them they can help me out) And i'm really good at making impressions.. When i need it. + my angelic appearence makes them believe i'm a good person))
