Hi
I heard an awful story about a successful businessman. For 20 years he had been selling cars making a very good living for himself. In his late 30s he met this woman, who already had kids, and fell head over heels. He bought her an expensive ring, rolex watch, big house, car you name it. They got married. 3 years into the marriage she decides she "wants a change" and the marriage came to an end. Before actually walking out she sold her ring and other gifts and pocketed the cash. She made up all kinds of bs that he was stopping her seeing her own kids (ok folks don't have all the details here).
End result- he's now in his early 40s, a broken man living at home with his parents. He has no money to his name, he even has to get pocket money from his parents.
She's is in no such state, has profiteered nicely from the whole thing. I guess that's how our "justice" system woks these days. No wonder fathers4justice are angry.
So how does a young bachelor boy in contracting protect himself from this potential situation? Is there a nifty IOU situation with parents that can be invoked should she walk out and demand all she can get. Or where can one put money aside for the future safe from a dodgy ex-wife getting her grubby hands on it- are personal pensions safe? should money go into some kind of family trust?
