OH what a loaded subject.
I am not one to speak of merging finances. At this point in time should any man wish to become part of our family, there is going to be extensive pre-nuptial agreements
ensuring that all my hard work to provide for my CJ will STAY with CJ after my passing. Marriage is NOT a romantic endeavor to me. It is a contractual agreement that I will never trust signing.
The marriage contract provides for the spouse to automatically recieve marital assets
plus assets before the marriage, in the event there was no pre-nuptial agreement. Should I marry and pass without specific provisions, the spouse would inherit all assets and CJ would be left to the mercy of a non-blood relative. The spouse could technically turn around and leave all of the assets meant for CJ to his own children. CJ would be left to contest the will. I would then have no other alternative but to come back and haunt the lot, disturbing my eternal rest.
No thank you. I'd rather eat glass.
Cheers!
