Would you pay your ex a 'break-up fee'?

Ex Mrs BP IV swapped it for a leopard.

He can probably use that in the campaign. He's teaming with MF and their working title is Fathers Against Tax, FAT.

I read the other day that some guy is charging his g/f rent to live in their shared home.

At first I thought she was crazy going along with it, but on reflection if they marry and later divorce I imagine she'll get a far better payout for having demonstrably contributed financially from the outset.

If your girlfriend moves in with you then why should she not contribute towards the upkeep of the house.

If and when you get married and if she were in a position to, would you not give her an opportunity to buy part of the house so that it then becomes a shared asset?

If you get married she doesn't have to pay anything to get a share of the house as it is now a joint marital asset.

You are of course correct. However, not all women are freeloading harridans! It depends how fair she wants to be.
