Prenups aren't even worth the time spent talking about them at the end of the day. Consult the top 3 lawyers and put them on retainer before you decide to break the news.

I say stupid shit all the time.
I'm intrigued by what happens if it is common law, the mortgage is not paid off. How much does the wife need to 'contribute' for it to be considered she gets half?
On a seperate note. So many stories of women purposly seeking out guys who work in the rigs back in the day. Marry them, pop out a baby and hit the divorce bell. There are books written on this for women on how to trap a guy earning lots of money.
Some of my old clients told me crazy stories about their divorces. I saw male clients that had been totally taken to the cleaners. Its almost a business.
I had one client who immigrated here, worked all his life and save. Then he finally managed to save up to start his own business. He was so proud and full of ambition. The joy in his eyes. His wife came by the office a week later and asked about bankruptcy insurance. I said there was no such thing. She looked at me like I was a idiot, refused to belive me and left. A week later we found out that his wife had filed for divorce. He came in to revise his insurance. I have never seen a man look so defeated and broken.
Another client of mine told me a story of how his wife wanted fake boobs. He said don't do it as they have a house, good life etc. Well she went and did it. The attention she got from that went to her head. She filed for divorce. He kept the house and paid her out. That worked in his favour (he also had offshore accounts she did not know about). But the moral of the story is... if your spouse wants fake tits. Consult a divorce lawyer first.
Not true. I brought it up with mine a year or two into dating. We got married after 6 years of dating. A prenup is logical. Everyone in this thread is likely going to get divorced.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I don't know if "contributing" is even a factor. What you came in with is yours, but any gains while you're together are 50/50, whether she put money into the home or not.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I used to have a connection with a group of maritimers who were living in Red Deer and Edmonton, all working in oil and making incredible amounts of money, but still had the naive, small town, maritime based perspective. So many of them were shacked up with hot chicks for 6 months, got pregnant/married and within 1-3 years, all were divorced and paying their ex large sums of money.
It important to marry rich. I've heard.

Doesn’t hurt, marrying someone who makes more than you works even better.

This is true. And common-law vs marriage is not a differentiator. Each spouse gets half of everything gained/gifted/earned starting on the day you start cohabitating, regardless of what label you put on your relationship. The law doesn't care if you're married or not.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yah marrying someone who makes more than you is the way to go. If she wants to get rid of me she will have to pay me off!

Who knew that's what I wanted to be when I grew up.
what about this situation:
Girl moves in but she has her own house but rents it out to move in with you. The value of both homes go up, would the man be entitled to half of the increase of HER house or is it just the one you two live in?
It's all grey area and up to whichever lawyer is better.
