Quote from aeliodon:
To you guys that say don't get married - if every guy listened to you the human population would implode. And it would be a dog-eat-dog world (more so than it already is).
Marriage is a contract so you just have to make sure you enter it in a way that protects your ASSets.
I have a few questions:
1 If I marry a non US citizen then is the prenup still valid?
2 How is vagimony and child support calculated? Based on the minimum needs of the ex-wife and children? Or based on the earnings of the man?
3 Lets say before marriage a guy is worth 500k and 10 years later at divorce he is worth over 10 million. Then is it fair to limit the ex wife's vagimony and her share of asset distribution to 500k? Consider she was a homemaker during the 10 years of marriage.
I don't know the answer to numbers one or two, but my cousin has been dealing with child support issues. They can take up to 1/3 of your income, which by the way if you get married again is the combined income of you and your new wifey. If you start making more money and the ex finds out about it in most cases she can take you to court and ask for more money and get it. I don't know how spousal support works either, but this is what my cousin is having to deal with in terms of child support.
