'THIS CRISIS OF 2008 IS WORSE THAN A DIVORCE.
I LOST HALF MY MONEY
AND I STILL HAVE MY WIFE.' :sad:

 

[VitaminWaterGuy]

Hopefully she won't see that comment otherwise you might just lose the latter as well!! lol

 

[katie l]

Yes and take your remaining half which would leave you with NONE !

mpter the new laws are in place you won't have to even be married to lose half your stuff.

you just need to be in a defacto relationship (and its a very loose description too) for 2 years or more and its enough to have pay maintenance for the rest of their life even if they are in a new defacto relationship. (the law doesn't apply if they get married though)

have a 2 or more ex defactos and your screwed, they get half you super too.

it even applies to a mistress if you are able to mpford one in the first place.

This new law leaves it a bit open for people who rent rooms or share accomodation. What is to stop someone Reviewom saying "we were in a relationship" even though it was a business transaction. And talking about business transactions - If you see a WL 10 times in a year does that mean you are in a relationship and she can claim half your assets? Unfortunately a lot of laws are made by idiots. This is one of them.

I just read about that.. I think it's absolute crap that a guy or girl would have to cough up half their assets like that.

Is it only for Queensland? Or an Australia-wide thing? I couldn't possibly see the Senate passing such a law. :???:

 

[Carl Fredrickson]

A lot of men will get shmpted if that passes - I don't think being with someone for only two years, and not being married equates with being financially compensated. It will mainly pertain to men anyway - just one more way to get screwed hey guys! You poor bastards!!!!

Australia wide. Its part of standardising proceedings relating to familty law matters. Currently married couple goes through the federal courts while defactos go through the state courts. Expect it to go through in the Senate as the greens are anti-marriage and will carry the numbers once the senate changes over.
