... in response to pre-nups?, posted by zed on May 2, 2005Get a pre-nup!!! You tell her no pre-nup no marriage. I was marred to a B**** from Bogotá for 3 months and it was all about money. My Ex came here and changed about a week later. Now I am marred to one of the most wonderful persons in the world, a great lady from Cali. If your girlfriend loves you she will sign. But you got to make the pre-nup look as she was not being used or taken advantage of or a Judge will through it out.
Marriage is a contract, an agreement with guarantees from the state (each US state is different) One guarantee is alimony and the other is 50% of what you made during the time of your marriage. The only way you can get out of alimony and the 50% is for your wife to give up her rights given to her by the state, The same as way as someone giving up their right to a speedy trial. The only thing you cannot get out of is child support.
Now Colombian women are more understanding about signing pre-nups, they realize times have changed. Relationships don’t last forever. I told wife when we started dating that I would not get marred without a pre-nup. And she understood. My wife could had the right to stop seeing me and dropped me like a rock and found someone else. But my wife is secure in herself that if things don’t work out between us, she still has a life ahead of her without me buying it for her.
Marriage is the only place where you can get screwed twice … once in the marriage and next in court, three times if she screwing your best friend.
People change all the time. Is a B**** worth the risk of you losing your will being?
