Infidelity Support Group
Any relationship in which one partner engages willfully in sexual relations with another outside of the partnership is considered to have experienced infidelity. This breach of trust is often traumatizing for the faithful partner as well as the relationship, and support is often needed to heal emotionally and to decide whether or not the relationship should continue after...
Have fun.. congratulations
I don't want to rain on your parade....but statistically recidivism for cheaters who cheat before a marriage are high after a marriage as well.
Of course I realize 99% leaves room for the 1% of those who don't, but if you go through with marrying him would you consider a pre-nup with a infidelity clause?
And why not do a destination wedding? It is less likely that the OW would travel to upset your wedding plans.
Where I live if just one spouse wants a divorce, he/she gets it. And if they cannot decide on a division of property, a judge decides and that it.
Furthermore, in most states one cannot disinherit a spouse. So the spouse inherits a portion, usually one third, of the total estate of the deceased.
Their are many famous cases where a rich man tried to disinherit his wife.
Joe Robbie who owned the Miami Dolphins did just that. The widow filed for what is called her elective share and she got it.
You said you are not going to control other people's choices, but look what you are doing here. And you are doing it without knowledge of the law.
Not smart. See a lawyer and get your finances buttoned down. If you don't do it now, before you are married, I think you will be more than surprised - you will be very sorry.
In the same way when I got married I wanted to make it last and did do my part to ensure this. However, after my wife's adultery I understand that this is something beyond marital discord and is a complete betrayal and something that really does warrant a divorce.
We have a witnessed post-nup at this time which we will shortly notarize.
It really doesn't matter if the house is in your name because it is the matrimonial home so that gets divided between you two. It doesn't matter for anything really that an asset is in one name or another because they will even award pension divisions in divorce.
If you guys broke up now it would be the case where they would see you as common law and likely assets would be divided 50/50.
There is no harm consulting a lawyer just to give you a clear understanding of this.
