remarriage

By the sound of it Rasher your cat needs constant supervision just to stop him crapping everywhere!!!

If he can't be posted then I guess I'll have to come and visit him in person. Now look what you've done, you inadvertently arranged our first meeting.....Or was this a deliberate ploy to get me out the house so you can clear me out...Ooh your crafty.

I've already got my documents done (I'll just use my current ones with names changes. Cheap & easy!!!) And Zara I think you'll find being a judge it's a one of fee £210.00 (not foegetting the VAT!!)

God this is stressfull, running two divorces in tandem. But I must stay positive...I'll get the cat, I know I will!!

Sorry BRM I cannot put any response into play until I hear both sides.

Now, I have a particular weakness for massage, acupuncture, and all that lovely STUFF. so keep me sweet, or what// Never know?????????

But i needs loadsamoney, me face is looking like someone has slept in it, me forehead needs ironing. That needs dosh mate. Keep uping the fee????
I need me blonde locks to curl, so what is your fee?
Might have to go on a holiday in the Maldives too.

Even if i consent to an order it dont mean nuffin

So you won't just take my word for it then!

Someone has slept in your face. You, every night surely. Don't what ever you do iron ya face. It may get rid of the creases but leaves ya with third degree burns (not good). I can sort the acupunture as a friend of mine has his own surgery so I should get mates rates for that. The massage might have to go to Rashers cat. Every time they sit on you they give you a right good going over trying to get you soft. Why, only they know.

As for the fees, are you asking me for a bribe....I've got morals you know. OK how much then (don't tell Rasher though)? Can I suggest a UK holiday, say Butlins, Minehead, that's about £70 for a weekend. I think I can stretch to that....just.

Divorced in 2000,on my own with 3 children for 2 years met someone and he has been living with me for 5 years now ,he has asked me to marry him many times and i have declined,after fighting for the house and a large legal aid bill with my ex having a % when i sell i will not be in that position ever again,my partner came to me with nothing and he understands that anything i have will be left to my children,what i went through with my ex concerning the children and keeping a roof over their heads without any finacial help from him has scared me forever,i am happy with my partner .

Please then make a cohabitation agreement setting out clearly who owns what in what shares....saves any horrible mess later on should anything happen, and should only cos a couple of hundred pounds.

This is a sad thread, and I sometimes wonder if the current decline in the popularity of marriage is due to a greater awareness of the possible consequences of marriage breakdown. It may sadly also be true that some wealthy spouses choose to remain in unhappy marriages as the lesser of two evils.

But against that, I have been around too long not to recognise that there are many people who get it right the second time.

I saw a solicitor, I forget his name, a member of the so called Magic Circle, admitting on television that his advice to wealthy clients was not to marry. That seems a shame, because true love can easily surmount such financial inequalities.

But at the the moment, I think you would have to say that there are certain danger areas :

1. If possible, choose a partner who is more or less economically equal and who is unlikely to make too many financial demands on you if the relationship fails.
2. Be very wary of the prospective partner who is going to rely for her future support on the income which you can provide, and for her accommodation on the house which you can offer.
3. Be particularly wary of the potential wife with dependent children. You might as well face it, their needs are going to take priority in the event of a split. If you really must marry someone like this, then rent. If you buy your house you are very likely to lose the lion's share of it. If you rent, it wasn't yours to lose.
4. NEVER marry anyone with a disability. Live with them if you must, but if you marry and the marriage fractures under the strain of caring, a grateful state will reward you with a maintenance order for life.
5. Don't rush into any new relationships after a breakdown. It complicates the finances, makes a settlement more difficult, and is best avoided. Take time to reflect on what went wrong with your first relationship. Don't marry a second partner who is a clone of the first ; you will be surprised how many people do.

But where would we lawyers be without you ??

Surely though Mike we don't choose our partners like that (to business like). We just find we get on with someone so well that it makes sense to be with them forever (we think!!). I say no to remarriage mainly because of my age (43). I don't see the point now. Saying that that though, I would still trust someone, if it happens again to me so be it. But if you don't trust them your punishing them for someone elses doing (thats not fair). The reason I said to my son not to get married is cos I think it's lost it's meaning, you can love & trust someone just the same married or not. I'm sure when he's older he will be just fine with relationships and I'll support him what ever his choice.
