Just curious folk, in Australia since 2009 a woman is now entitled to claim half your assets and even split up your property with you after a mere 6 months+ in a de facto relationship. Yup, that's right, unmarried relationships are now just as expensive as marriages.
Now of course with a mere six months you can press your case and sort it out in court, but when it's over a year, forget it - you'll definitely be losing out. I've already lost most of my savings and my house to my STBX, which I'm not really complaining considering she was an active wife and mother over the years. But I risked losing my business.
Now if I'm hit with this again... I'm fked, and potentially so will all my mates at work who depend on me for their jobs. This has made me very wary about any future with a woman. For starters, if I am to get involved now, if I don't wish to lose out, she must match my assets and I hate having to have this as a standard.
Not only that, but if she moves in with me, and after a year, decides to fk off, BOOM. There goes my business that I've spent the last few years investing in, and there goes my financial security that I've relied on since mid-marriage. I'll be back to square one, and may not achieve the same success that I have in my current business.
Am I being selfish thinking of this? Do you think this is a good law? Why should I even get involved in a long term relationship anymore nowadays if this is going to be the way it is? Bah!
Now in the case of prenup, who the hell is going to sign a prenup before even living together? Bah!
