You get married in the UK and you sign away at least 50% of everything you own plus some future earning if you get divorced.Quote:

Which one do you think you will lose more money on?
^ Have prenups become pase'?
^I dunno, never been married there
She can get half of what you got during the marriage in Thailand too, no difference to Farangland. And in the case you bought a house she get that as a bonus.Quote:

^What? for child support or just straight out future earnings?
Lilly the problem is like in Australia if you marry a nice girl and have a couple of cute kids and all is going alone nicely in your mind.Quote:

You then think well I have a bit in the bank but when you check the account is empty or frozen.
Poor bloke keeps going work but at the end of each week most his wage is going to his kids and ex wife.
While the fat cow lives it up and now has a boyfriend staying most nights in your house that you spent 10 years building into a nice home and he is driving you car that was your pride and joy
After staying with friends or family you get enough money to buy a shit box car and rent a small shitty flat and that is about all you are going to afford for the next ten years untill your kids have growen up.
This is what happened to a mate of mine
Now tell me Lilly does any of this sound fair to you
Aussie guys are getting screwed left right and centre from the Aussie goverment.
Not just Aussies mate, my azz still hurts, and thit is 14 years ago, and the system has got worse since then.....Quote:

Lily,
the system in Aussie, of which I was a victim of, does nothing for the kids.
I left Aussie and paid SFA for 12 years, when I went back 2 years ago they whip my passport of me.
I settle for $12k in court.
I asked the kids what Mum bought them - SFA was the reply.
Over those 12 years I averaged about $5k for each daughter - to their accounts.
The Child Support would not recognise this as support, arguing that it was only for birthdays or Xmas.
Thank fuck I decided to run, at least I have a life here, and a daughter that worships the ground I walk on to play with every day.
BTW my two Aussie daughters, now 20 y.0 will be visiting me in Thailand at Xmas - a long wait.
So, he got no share of their joint assets?Quote:

Lily,
I know it costs more than 5K a year dear. what I said was the CSA refused to consider these deposits as part of the kids welfare.
She got the lot because I did not want it, and felt it was better of with my daughters.
Trouble was the ex's born again tribe moved in and she had SFA left after 3 years. Now am I to blame for this as well????
I wanted custody the courts said no, I said that if i cannot get custody or access I'm not paying.
(Suicide for seperated men in Austrlia - google it, not nice.)
That is why I am so glad I left the whole ratrace.
and this is wot fcks me off abt teh whole system,Quote:

i'll happily look after my children and i dont need a cent in support, but a female can demend that right plus money!
Something like this, eh...?Quote:

We have:
Gymnasium Barbie: £19.95;
Volleyball Barbie: £19.95;
Shopping Barbie: £19.95;
Surfer Barbie: £19.95;
Disco Barbie: £19.95; and
Divorced Barbie: £299.95
Shocked, the man asks, "Why is Divorced Barbie £299.95 when all the other Barbies are £19.95?"
Exasperated, the girl responds: "Sir, Divorced Barbie comes with..... Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's Boat, Ken's furniture, Ken's jewellery Ken's money, Ken's computer, and Ken's best friend .....
BTW Lily, if my parents divorced and my Mum took nothing from the settlement she would still be richer than my Dad.:)
I've never been married so i'll never be divorced. :) I am getting to the age where people think about marriage but it seems like something you should approach with extreme caution.
Having been through the Oz Child Support System many years ago it favoured the female very heavily, now it seems to be evening up a little bit.
2 words:
Pre nup
Didn't Paul McCartney have a pre-nup with Heather Mills?
It isn't doing him much good.
If we are talking about the UK, a pre-nup is not enforceable under English law, a Judge may take it into consideration or he may ignore it altogether.
McCartney did not have a prenup, at least that's what I've been told.
I think he did. It was in the news just before they got married.
