Man, that's some cold business. Friend of a friend got caught stepping out, and the Mrs. told him that the condition of him being allowed to stay was a post-nuptial. Friend (who is a lawyer) read it over for him and was astounded. He told him not to sign it, but he wanted to keep his family together and did. Wow.

    He got what he deserved. No one should (step out) on the spouse.If you want to fool around, then don't get married. JMHO

    Hey, I'm not saying his actions were OK. It's just that he signed away EVERYTHING. If they get divorced he essentially walks away with the clothes on his back. The house, the two cars, his pension, all the bank accounts--hers free and clear.

    It's so devastating I'm not even sure it's legal. I wonder if he'll have enough money to eat or put a roof over his head.

    Pay to Play sounds about right. If the attorney he had worked for him and not his wife, then yep it will be upheld in court.

    Ouch but it was his choice.

    Sounds like a divorce would have been a lot cheaper. No way would I have signed that even if I was totaly at fault.

    Some years ago, my father, who is German and was in his 90's at the time, had a problem with his second wife (they had been married about 2 years. She was also German and spoke little English. He filed for divorce, and after filing, found that because she was over 65, and they were in Florida, she automatically was entitled to half of everything he owned! He also found that he couldn't withdraw his divorce petition without her permission. After a big rowdydow with the lawyers, he was able to buy her off for $20,000 and an all expence 6 month vacation in Europe.
    When she arrived in Europe, she sent my father a letter stating that her seat mate on the trip over was an American lawyer who spoke German and she found out what her "rights" were, and that when she got back she was going to divorce him and get all of his property anyway.
    Needless to say, when she returned from Europe and filed for divorce, she found that my father did not own anything....no bank accounts, no real estate, no jewelry, no investments, NOTHING!
    All she got in the divorce, was the right from the court to live in my fathers house for the rest of her life. Well, my father saw to it that she was restricted to her room and a bathroom. No kitchen facilities, no living room, no nothing. Only her bedroom! That lasted about a year and she moved in with her daughter.

    the guy is a dumbazz[V] If he got caught, he should just tell his wife she can have half, and be done with it.

    Sounds like a very expensive romp in the hay. I would rather spend the money on a new Porsche.

    Yep, he compounded one stupid move with a really really stupid move!

    Obviously he didn't care about keeping his family together when he was sticking his ... in another .... so why care now? Maybe he tripped and fell in?


    The fact that she came up with this agreement indicates to me that his wife has no intention of forgiving him and moving on to heal their marriage. She is gonna wait a little while and then throw him the shaft! guess who is wearing the pants in that family now??

    what a *

    Probably will hold up, so long as the situation of the parties doesn't change. For example, if in 5 years, everyone is still employed, making the same or better money, the debt situation is basically the same, and health and expense wise, things are pretty much teh same, it will hold up. Any major change, and all bets are off.

    In my business, we have a few phrases:

    1. It is the F-ing you get for the F-ing you got;
    2. It's all the same problem;

    And my favorite is the joke about the guy who's walking through the woods, and hears a tiny voice yelling "Help me!" He searches, and finds a frog on a log. The Frog says "I'm a beautiful princess, and an evil witch turned me into a frog. If you kiss me, I'll turn back into a princess, and promise you a night of passion you will never forget!"

    He picks up the frog, puts it in his pocket, and goes about his walk. A few minutes later, the frog says "Aren't you going to kiss me?" He says "I've had a night of passion before, and all things being equal, I'd rather have a talking frog!"
