Marry a rich chick in upper management at a fortune 500 company like I did. I she cheats and divorces me I get half. Since she makes more than me I get allowance from being used to the lifestyle I was living. Thats where most guys especially poor pilots make the mistake. Marry a rich one and they wont dump you they got too much to lose.
Heyas,
This is true. The door swings both ways in many States today, so be sure to claim what is yours. Play THEIR game to your benefit, and turnabout is absolutely fair play.
If you have paid any of their student loans, they MAY owe you a slice for any future earnings. If you made payments on any real estate, you MAY be entitled to a slice of any returns.
Personally, I wouldn't want any of those things, but they can be used as bartering chips to prevent other unpleasantness or to negotiate a quick, painless egress.
I also recommend a pre-nup absolutely, without question. You deserve everything you get if you don't have one.
