Is this your law degree talking? Or is this something you think you herd in Divorce Court TV or The Peoples Court? My law degree says you really don't know what the fuck you are talking about. I finished law school have you? My little brother is a trial attorney, my father is an attorney who specializes in contracts and a lot of my close friends (who i went to law school with) are attorneys with LLM's in tax and real property.
And your education is???????? A friend of a friend? A friend of a friend who knows an attorney? Google?
With your above statement, you are making an assumption that we come into this relationship with an equal amount of assets. Im not gonna sit here and list what i have and how many businesses i currently own, that are not adult related. But i will definitely tell you that it is enough that no matter who you start to date, you will always wonder if she really likes you for you, or for what you got.
3,500 square foot House with pool and gates in LA county, 2 3K square foot fully loaded studios rental studios loaded with gear, a mainstream laser lighting company with a steady 10 year cliental, etc.
If you dont try and protect what you bring into the relationship, you are a complete fool!!
I see that you haven't been paying attention to what ever TV show you get your law from.
She will not get "alimony". Not possible. She may get "Palimony" which i would not mind paying her. And i would pay what ever amount and then some for child support. Paying all of that would never be an issue.
Breaking up all of my assets to give her half of what i worked for my whole life is where i seriously draw the line. This is why i do not believe in marriage.
I do understand the rules and laws governing marriage and "Community Property" and where they are applicable. Do you Mr. Black Crayon???
I do love my girlfriend and i do not see it ending or ending badly. But at the same time my logical side forced me to have a plan in place where if things do end badly, I have an "out" that doesn't set me back with less than than i came into the relationship with.(most people do not have that kind of foresight and end up loosing their asses in divorce) SO SADD!!
On a final note; If we both people come into the relation ship with the same things or nothing and they amass a moderate fortune, i would think that my girlfriend or spouse would be entitled to half. But that is clearly not my situation and those facts are not applicable to me and my situation.
