Seems like it, but I think they both get screwed most the time. For one thing, they both have lawyers.

Justice is served:

A friend of mine was being divorced by his wife. She filed and she played around on him. He was a very nice guy and didn't want the divorce. However, she decided to go ahead with it. They split up she took everything she could lay her hands on and left him.

A few months later he hit the Lotto. It was only 3.6 million but after taxes that was 120K appx per year for 20 years.

She decided half of that was hers also. Filed suit and stated they were in process the of reconcilliation. It cost him $25K to pay for "both" lawyers but he won out.

Is that JUSTICE, I ask you????

Now, too bad the first thing the guy did is go out and buy a vette. I never said he had good taste in women or cars.

Hmm, why don't people ever set up their properties under a corporate license? House in one LLC, property in anothe. Or maybe house and cars provided for separately by different corp. You kill someone with the car? You lose only what's in your name. Someone's kid gets hurt on your property, you don't lose it all. Wife divorces you, all you are worth on paper is literally the shirt on your back.

I'm only 23 and probably not the brightest guy on the board, but I would figure that guys with a LOT more money than me at risk would have figured this out by now.

I'm thinking living trust. Then one corp to invest with. One limited partnership to put up the $$ to that corp from. One or more LLCs to set up the house/property under. Think that'll do it? Of course, I haven't set up anything beyond the initial copr to invest through (Nevada S), so if there are any lawyers out there that could offer any suggestions or advice....I'd love to hear from you!

Well, off the top of my head, I would suggest you might have trouble getting a mortgage with an LLC; not without a personal gaurentee. And as for buying cars and such under a corporation, you will encounter the same problem.

Not even a Living Trust will save you. I have a living trust and we register property in the name of the trust - this is to protect ownership in the event of death. But when you bring up a trust, most lenders do a doubletake. You'll need to provide copies of the trust and some lenders wont bother.

Of course, titling everything under different legal definitions would probably not save you in the event of a divorce. Corporation sheilds tend to buckle when shown that a single person controlled the corporation and used it for their own benefit. (Might not be the legal term; but close enough.)

Now, if you pay cash for everything; that might be a whole nother story.

Prenup. Thats what me and my girl plan to do. She can't have my cars money or orginal property, I can't her new property or house. Works fine for the both of us.
