Hahaha yan ang equality! Hehe

but i wonder,
does a pre-nup have any bearing on tax and business issues ?
i..e, can a legal claim against one spouse, affect the other spouse's moneys?

BTW my Kuya is on his second annulment, I'm not privy to the details but the ex filed a case agaist him. I found out today that the fees etc reached the HIGH 7 digits

I'm not even gonna talk about the evil ex of my brother na mas malaking sakit ng ulo. I am shocked that people decide to get married like it's such a simple thing to do.

Prenup is cheaper than Lawyer fees if nagdemandahan na for the property and money in the relationship.

Cheaper than prenuptial agreements ... cheaper than lawyers would be ... just live-in ... don't get married ... get married after 30 years of living-in ... after that you split up ... so get prenup or just live-in ...

I don't mind having a prenup but I prefer that my BF should wait for me to offer it.

Age gap guy asked me how I feel about a prenup and I told him straight away that I'm okay with it (but deep inside I was hurt) My Lola has always told me to protect our inheritance going into marriage but I told age gap guy we'll just follow what's in the law as I want my husband to inherit instead of my brother's evil ex. He knows my family in fact we are cousins in law, so he knows I am not a gold digger! He tole me his relatives said that his Uncle married into a good family (my family!) He said the prenup is for our kids, but then again, at our age, I know that's not a guarantee. I don't wanna talk with my friends about it kasi parang ako pahiya dito

Well anyway, napagusapan lang naman. If we do end up together, I hope my lawyer does a great job. hehe.

Read somewhere ... your husband can't technically "inherit" your inheritance ... inheritance goes down tree ... not up or sideways ... he can only share 50% of what you "earn" during marriage ... check with lawyers ... besides, if he's older, he'll go first ... you can always make a will to donate everything to charity ...

If I go first, he'll get everything (assuming we don't have kids). Will needs to pass through the court pa so my lawyer does not recommend it. AFAIK it works if all the heirs agree to what's in the will.

I'm fine with my husband getting everything if I go first but what turned me off e, doesn't he want me to get everything when he goes first? Like you said, he's older so I'll probably be taking care of him in a few years, plus I don't have a job so how am I supposed to survive if he goes first (kaya I need a job talaga) Then he made a joke side comment na he's not sure if I stick to my words (like I always flake when we go out lol) wtf diba?

We'll see if our relationship progresses and he will insist on that prenup and if the terms will be fair. I am offended talaga that he brought that up.

BTW I have cousins that my Lola won't let them marry their SOs because they bring nothing to the table. So does age gap guy think I bring little kaya he wants a prenup haha
