was just going to mention that prenups really no longer carry the weight that people think it does. For 2 years, whether you are married or not, exposes you to the same liability a married individual would face in the event of a break up here in BC which is crazy.
> Couples who have been living together for two years share the same legal rights as married couples in BC, including a 50/50 split of debts and assets—excluding pre-relationship property, inheritances and gifts.
With a rate of 40% for divorce, a pre-nup may no longer be just for marrying couples, it may be needed for any relationship where cohabiting occurs. Also, there is absolutely no chance the judge will side with the men in places known.
Oregon state has destroyed my good friend’s entire life. Child taken away, only get 4 hours a week of time with his kid. My friend is smart, kind and nicest person you’ll ever meet. Personal net worth fucked.
One of the reasons for me to consider leaving California.
No, I didn't know California was a separate entity. But, what I know is that it is worse than Oregon.
Instead of HN constantly defending California, I want us to take a hard look at what's wrong with this state and improve it; but I see a bad future and looking out for myself. I want California to be the best place on the planet to live. It is regressing at an ever increasing pace. I was talking to a SaksFifth employee in SF – he is working there since 1995. I talked to him for good 30 mins talking about how things were in Bay Area specifically. It is night and day compared to 90's.
No, I don't think so but my memory is a bit hazy, this was around 2013 time frame. All I remember is that he would prepare, spend a whole week planning for things he would do, and when the kid was with him, he'd most sincerely enjoy those 4 hours, every second of it. Makes me tear up just thinking about it.
His ex-wife was a trainwreck, they faught and for so long, lost $100k+ in just attorney fees and yet, the Portland judge wouldn't give him a break. I couldn't fault a single thing in his character and offered to be a witness. His attorney did their best to put forth a case, had a psychology auditor evaluate his mental health, everything is flying colors. Still, the judge wouldn't give more time with his child.
FUCKED UP. Makes me angry just thinking about it. It made me realize that there is evil in this world in the most visceral way.
