OG GMB Advice "Buy your house before you get married"

[The Coochie Assassin]

I have a hard time believing men are the ones who made these laws, but they are . My question is why? Definitely some rich simps.

Pretty sure they were created because rich men are like banks to everyone involved in divorce cases (wife, lawyers, court, etc)

Without wealthy men, divorce wouldn't be lucrative at all. It's a business.

Already did this. If you're smart it's hard to get played.

I don't think your situation is in the spirit of this thread though. yea you bought your house before you got married, but you bought it with your girl. you might as well be married anyway in the eyes of the law. if things go south you will get the shaft.

The coli thinks women should walk away from a divorce with nothing. Even if she helped pay for half of everything.

Well when your Phillip Banks baby girl can you blame us

"And only have it in your name so when yall get divorced, they cant give it to her"

-Old Military Head at work just told me this.

A revocable trust with you as the settler/grantor will safeguard your assets much better than simply hoping a judge doesn't find a way to take it from you in a divorce settlement. People can add parents/family members to it to shift control during a situation such as a divorce/death etc. Women have been granted and obtained lump sum payments from earnings PRIOR to the marriage as well as stocks/intellectual property etc. You should own it...but "you" shouldn't own it at the same time

The only property that she would have access to would be the one we bought together. I don't have a problem with that. Once again, there are things to do in order to mitigate the potential damage of a divorce. First thing is to pick the right person.

She can still be entitled to a piece of the house so this thread is pointless lol

 

[mbewane]

Move into HER house then

Since we're all equals, you get half in case of a divorce

This is the best strategy. Nothings 100% guaranteed when it comes to human relationships but theres definitely things to look for that put odds for success in your favor

 

[1thouwow]

they made these laws because they dont want single mothers on welfare

spousal support >>>>>>> state support everytime

Breh that's plain common sense.

Again, don't marry triflin. bytches don't just do 360s out of the blue. They ALWAYS give off signs of trife. Lots of cats just refuse to open their eyes.

the truth

only if you let her pay into that house... so it's not irrelevant

nikkas need to be smarter and realize marriage isn't about love.. it's about a contract.. you got to be smart. you don't want to lose your house, protect it by keeping it YOUR house

Nope

She is entitled to a piece either way she doesn't have to pay anything

 

[VelourSocks]

Yes because buying a home by yourself is such an easy thing
