Curley Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 If I couldn't trust the person I married, well, why would I have married her? Ask that of the huge number of divorced husbands. Something around 40 to 50% of first marriages and even higher for second marriages....... that's a hell of a lot of trust that was misplaced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support Old55 Posted February 7, 2015 Forum Support Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) My father told me that any girl that would marry me would have to be crazy and I don't want to marry a crazy girl! My first wife was bipolar and the sex was amazing. On the other hand she was crazy a thief and liar. My wife at this time controls our finances although I am the one who plans our long term investments and savings. If I were living full time in the Philippines I would keep most of my assets in the States and have total control of that along with all investments and savings. Far better to be worth more alive than dead. My worry would be less that of my wife but of her distant family who may have ideas. That is a harsh thing to say but...........

But if the foreigner got retirement pay, the wife will not get NEW money to give away... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Canada, the surviving spouse gets up to 60% of his Canada Pension and up to 70% of his company pension if she is his first wife and set up for a survivor. If she is your 2nd to 5th wife, then yes, she will get no new money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey Steve Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 My wife is connected to groups on FB that who's theme mainly are Americans married to Filipinas. Here in the US, from what she reads quite often, it's a common strategy for the man who brings the fiancee over to marry (K-1) to blind side her and tell her shortly before the marriage ceremony to sign a pre-nup. The man keeps it close to his vest till she's actually in the states to keep the family mostly out of influencing her to counter with...whatever. Of course he's going to protect his assets in case there's a long term strategy with less than desirable intentions on her part. She usually will sign (although bewildered) but if she's smart will tell him to add a "sunset clause" so long term they can live like a normal couple. In other words he's saying, I don't trust you and she's countering with - I can go with that as long as you can go with the fact that one day you will as time will prove it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Peterson Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Of course he's going to protect his assets in case there's a long term Whether this be true or not I don't know as in the UK prenuptials are rare unless there is a vast amount of Money Involved and I don't think it would apply here, A friend who is a Lawyer told me that normally, Prenuptial are in the Main pursued by people with something to Hide.
