This is common knowledge, why do we need to google any of this?
because of statements like this
"Do everything way in advance of the marriage. Off shore accounts , irrevocable trust funds etc. I think each state and judge interprets the legitimacy and potency of your pre-nup differently so find pre-nup friendly states to marry. Better yet, marry a bitch/sign pre-nup overseas"
That is false. And it is your quote. It does not matter where you marry or where you sign the pre-nup. If you live in California and she files for divorce in California then you will be subject to the California laws even if you signed your prenuptial agreement in Bali and were married in Bora Bora.
Also, your off shore accounts can easily be uncovered. Note that if you do not disclose all of your assets at the signing of your prenup then it can be considered null and void because she signed based on incomplete information. I have been through a big divorce in the past and just recently I spent many visits with my attorney in an attempt to get a prenuptial agreement together for the lady I've been dating for the past few years. My conclusion: It is just not possible to properly protect my assets (a few million) or my future. I let her go.
Again, perhaps be open to learning a bit more. Easy cowboy...
Then this goes back to men not "marrying down financially". If the couple is in California and his assets are $1,000,000 and hers is $800,000 and combined they are 1,800,000...then from a CALIFORNIA divorce, each takes $900,000. Seems to me that marrying the $800,000 chick is much safer than marrying the $30,000 receptionist.
