It’s called a prenup. My grandfather insisted my husband sign one. Over the last 20 years, in addition to the inheritance stipulation in the prenup, he has signed
‘release of homestead’ and quit claims for every piece of property i have aquired. The houses are in both of our names but that is it. We have our own cars, our separate bank accounts, our own savings. We are happily married (have a newborn in fact) and money isn’t a fight with us.
That said, MrR is an attorney and we have seen divorced couples fight over sleeping bags and non silver silverware. Divorces are nasty business.
Back in my youth, I was waiting my turn in court one morning as a couple of lawyers were arguing in a divorce case. The couple had no real property to fight over. They had no children to fight over. I’m sure that the lawyers, by that point, knew that they weren’t going to get paid for their efforts. The fight was over the pots and pans in the kitchen - all the couple had left to fight over after a protracted matter. The judge told them to have all the pots and pans sitting on the floor in front of the bench when he got back from lunch, and he’d do the property division if they couldn’t work it out, and that they each needed to have their clients there, as well, as he would deal with them at the same time.
After lunch, the lawyers announced that they wouldn’t need any more of the court’s time, and an agreed order would be submitted.
Family court in the us is set up to maximize animosity between spouses. They make 50 billion a year off divorces.
Ifyou have some time wstch the documentary “Divorce Corp” and see just what a sham family court is and the tremendous conflixt ofinterest s that exist unchecked between judges and attorneys and law firms and court appointed “experts”.
You will be utterly sick.
