I-134 question

[russ 1]

The only thing that could be in favor of a spouse would be any monies, properties, etc that were in my name or our names together not inherited.

Many states have fairly generous protections for any asset that can be considered to be a 'family business' that existed before marriage.

The anecdotal evdience that I have seen is that judges are relectant to order alimony, in particular with short marriages when both spouses have advanced degrees. Alimony is a double edged sword, if you are awarded it, and your income increases faster than your former spouse, you may end up paying it instead. Child support is a totally different thing, and has nothing to do with pre or post nups.

The laws vary by state. For instance, here in Florida, the guidlines include what the spouse recieving alimony should be making, and any contribution the other spouse made to their education. So for instance, if you put your wife through medical school, the court will look at what a doctor should be making, and the contribution you made to her education. Choosing not to work would not entitle such a spouse to alimony payments. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.

Reminds me of the old joke about the lawyer and the catfish.

Sometimes I think you ain't right slim and something is missing between the ears ....If your wife experienced culture shock it was probably not the US but the guy she married

I think a lot of what makes things easier for us in here is your humor
