          But one day I will have my retribution. I will be on the front page of every newspaper in the world.
          BP whats stopping you from having 10 more children with this woman or any other? Surely you would have the obligation to pay for them all - wouldn't your ex-wife have to give you back a proportion of your assets to pay for your other dependants? wouldn't each of your children be entitled to a upbringing using the same resources? it's only fair.

            Excellent reply. Sounds like you've gone through this scenario before!

            I'll email that answer to her so she will be prepared, hehehe.
            It's Deja-vu all over again!

              the gf had a snip after the baby was born. so no more kids. I hardly have the strength to get through the day - let alone get another girlfriend. even if I was inclined - which I am not.

              once assets of marriage are divided it is hard to revoke - at least in favour of a man. for a woman easier. case recently where a woman divorced a millionaire, got half the cash in 1990. in 2007 went back to court as she had spent it all - and the court gave her more. the family courts are evil beyond belief - until you see them in action.

              I have the best mckenzie in the country and have discussed taking my case back to court many times. but they are so anti-man you would not believe it.

              try getting divorced and see.

              mrrobin - just say no.

                Two points.

                1- this is why my advice to the man is if you are having doubts already, get rid now or face getting ripped off.

                2-Demand prenup.

                3-Men are stupid when it comes to women, even guys who are quite switched on and successful in the business world can turn into baffoons over a nice looking lady. Seen it happen to many times.

                Be careful is my advice.

                    agree very strongly - just a small addendum to say that prenups are getting better but are still no guarantee but it at least sets out the assets bought into the marriage and can influence any split.

                    and thank you for believing me. most people dont.

                      Prenup's don't count in court in the UK. Tis a yank thang (which other countires may have adopted, but not blighty!)
