KimvB Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hi everyone...needing some advice here. I am a 40 year old professional that married a wealthy man 10 years ago with no pre-nup. Had 2 children who are now 6 and 8. I stopped working to be a stay at home mom. I did keep up my vet license. So I wake up from my fairy tale and realize that I am in a severely unbalanced marriage with little trust and little respect. It's like I have just taken my head out of the sand and am looking around going &*^%...I didnt want to repeat what my mom did! But here I am. No pre-nup, married 10 years with kids. BUT my name is not on the house, nor the cars, nor the properties. And the only one it IS on (i think by mistake) he is asking me to sign my rights away for "insurance purposes". It looks bad and sounds bad. I have asked him to reassure me we are life partners by adding me to everything. He will only do the house. I figure an attorney visit is needed. Does anyone know if the marriage contract supercedes the formation of s-corporations or LLC's? In other words, am I still 50% as a wife of the corporations assets without my name being on it? HELP
Boos Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Ouch! I think a lawyer would definitely need to answer those questions. Almost hate to say it, but all the housewives in my family (I work outside the home) keep "Bible money". Money embezzled from the household funds and kept somewhere in her name that he doesn't know about. It sounds awful, but you do have to look out for yourself. I have one sister going through problems right now who just realized that if her husband walked out, she doesn't even have access to the bank account. She wouldn't be able to buy groceries! So she started putting some Bible money away too. Best of luck with all of it.
Enema Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 These threads always leave me with a sour taste in my mouth. Good luck, I hope you get what you deserve.
hellothar Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I don't know the context of your marriage or if there are any other problems that would lead you to feel that something is wrong. If he is willing to put you on the house, the single largest investment... then I don't think he is trying to run off with everything. Cars are actually cheaper to insure with one on the title. We own the house together but the cars are separate for these purposes. Just make sure you get your name on the house and don't worry about the car once your name is on the house.
armywife915 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 You most likely do still have rights to 50%. I work in insurance and we can not legally take a spouse off until the divorce is final because until that happens the other spouse is still financially responsible for your other half. I think it depends on the state though. Good luck with everything.
