[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do not have one.  We met when we were in lawschool and both had astronomical debt.  We have accumulated our wealth together.

If that is not your case, I can't really help you.  Did one person come to union much wealthier than the other?  If not, that would be a problem for me.  [b]It would seem that at least one person has one foot already out the door.[/b]  [/quote]

OP here, I disagree.  You date someone for say, 2 - 8 years, and then commit for life.  People change over time and if either party decides they're no longer happy and, with or without fault of the other party those differences can't be resolved, then you're dealing with a potentially messy divorce.  While you can commit yourself to doing everything to making it work, you can't force the other person to maintain that commitment.  Since it can happen due to things outside of your control I don't think it's fair to assume either party has one foot out the door.

Also, whether you accumulated your wealth together or not only relates to the substantive provisions of who gets what and suggests a 50/50 split is appropriate.  That doesn't address the main point that if things were to go bad there's no guarantee the judge would feel the same way.[/quote]
