I am about to get married, what can I do to protect myself?

Bari Zell Weinberger
Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question. You are in a predicament for certain.  You’ve invested 5 years of your life into a relationship that is tainted and you still have the stamina to resurrect the trust and love you have in him.  The good news is that he is in therapy and therefore he recognizes his foibles.  As a legal matter, the marriage document does not make you a joint debtor unless you co-sign or otherwise agree to assume those liabilities.  A pre-nuptial agreement is the way to protect assets for sure.  If you have significant assets you should get a family lawyer to prepare such a document prior to your marriage.  If not, be sure to maintain separate bank accounts and DO NOT co-sign any loans and/or assume any debts he has already incurred.  Ultimately should he default in any payments, the creditor will pursue his assets including wage garnishments and bank levies.  But it cannot and will not seek payment from you.  So remember to keep a separate checking and savings.  I sincerely hope your marriage will be a success otherwise.  Just so you know every married couple has issues and debt.  You are not alone but at least your husband to be is seeking therapy.  Be sure you are included in that!  Best wishes.

Can I negotiate attorney fees as part of the settlement in divroce case?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
you can always try to negotiate the fees, but please understand that the lawyer probably gave you an hourly rate, and the fees represent all of the timethat the lawyer worked on your case, and was therefore not working on other cases.  the fee represents not just the hours, but also the commitment to complete your matter.  If you owe that much in fees, it means the lawyer has been working without pay this whole time.

Do I have any right to the $50,000 she received from her grandmother since we had allotted $20,000 for the new kitchen that the house needed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Pamela R. Lawson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Pamela R. Lawson
If the $50,000 was the result of an inheritance or a gift, you are not entitled to any of it. Since she kept it separate from community funds, it remains her separate property. Sorry but there may be other dynamics of the situation that you have not mentioned that may result in some type of financial help to you.
