I checked out the site, it’s a very good resource site. I will bookmark it just I case I need such information.
These days, anyone with any kind of money or property, such as a house, boat,etc, is crazy not to insist on a prenuptial agreement when contemplating marriage. I believe that the learned lawyers from FindLaw could also help with that….
I have used Findlaw several times, just to check out possibilities, if nothing else.
It is good to have nearby for all sorts of legal issues, not just divorce!
Thank you for the link this is a very useful resource, it is good to be able to find information and advice quickly and easily.
mollyL, people who are in the middle of separation also should get separation papers drawn up right away eventhough they are not ready for divorce.
I’ve seen it too often that one partner meets someone else and all of a sudden all verbal agreements have gone down the drain of who gets what.
