Divorce & Asset Protection

[The Lone Gunman]

Does she get half of the company assets in the future too?

If so do you have to dissolve the company and set a new one up?

IANAL but I would guess yes!
She is entitled to 50% share of everything you own, therefore gets a 50% share of your business and is entitled to her share of divvies etc.

You either need to buy her out or carry on paying. Or shut up shop and cut all ties.

so just dissolve the company and start from scratch... no problem there i guess..

I am divorced and am have experience of hundereds of cases due to my work for fathers 4 justice (you can see my profile on the web site if you want).

Many men I know would pleased to just hand over 50% - many give alot more. If you have children, the family courts give the money to the women - they are softer targets for the family law gravy train.

I now an rarely involved with f4j as I have discovered that 99% of men are complete idiots who get what they deserve.

I get used to not being believed by those who have not been through it. But then I would not believe it myself if I had not seen it.

I believe you. The only way to win that game is to refuse to play. The system can't quite handle that.

1) Go bust.
2) Go insane and get signed on the sick.
3) Fsck off to another country without extradition to the UK.

Or for sh1ts and giggles do all three.

50% would be acceptable but she wants nearly 80% - and lets be serious, we only only have so much because I earned, saved and invested.

If I stay then and it goes wrong again, then its possibly 80% of my future assets which is alot worse than 80% of what I have now.

Women have to much to gain from divorce, whereas men have so much to lose.

With no kids involved there should be no reason a decent lawyer cant keep the figure to 50%. Less if he can show she made no contribution, but I believe in the 50/50 split.
If kids are involved it becomes a whole different ballgame.
Fathers have a responsibility to pay for their childrens up keep.
I do sympathise with the F4J crowd as it seems that fathers are being milked and denied access to their children.

My word - a contractor who understands what is going on - threaded you are one of the 1% of men I respect. f4j has a name for it - the retreat strategy. Only works if you mean it - you can't play games.

Why can't more men be like you? Then women would stop running circles round us...

Not always, but it seems this way. However, in marriage itself, men have a lot more to gain than the woman who, despite the advances in women's rights, still end up being a support prop for their husbands ambitions and have to take a back seat on their own to bring up the kids. This rarely happens in reverse.

Ask any married man whether they cook their own dinner when they get home from work. The answer is inevitably no. Ask any married woman whether they cook dinner when they get home from work and the answer is inevitably yes.

It is a womans place to raise the kids while the man goes off to work.
It is a womans place to have the meal prepared for when the man gets home after work

Anything else just confuses them
