Postnuptial Agreement

Question: What's wrong with consensual polygamy (polygyny) in America? Is it really worse than gay marriage? Would it lower the divorce rate in America? Or would local warfare and homicide be requisite as is commiserate in most natural polygynous societes? (question inspired by an r&s answerer spillover into philosophy.) polygyny is polygamy with only the husband getting more than one partner. statistically there are slightly more women than men, so monogamy requires some women to go without. LMAO shinigami, don't get conceited and think Polygamy only refers to Mormons. "Things Fall Apart" is probably a better persective on how Polygamy typically works. Polygyny is downright evolutionary sound, so long as it is the woman's choice. The man uses his surplus of support to accomplish the goal of more genetic offspring. Better to fall in love with a poor man than to share Brad Pitt with another woman? (To pop-culturize it.)

Answer: Consensual polygamy only works when all the wives get on well together and there's no issues about who inherits what! It is far too easily twisted to the advantage of the male spouse! Look at all those cults in Utah and Arizona. Finaly younger males are disadvantaged since older males get the pick of wives and first preference . Look at the history of Mughal India and Imperial China and what happened when junior wives tried to get older wives and their sons displaced. It only seems to work on a very small scale when all the wives get on well together and any inheritance is legally limited to one child or split evenly? As for the rare practice of polyandry that's usually one woman or two sisters marrying two or three brothers in cultures n which the women control the hosue and property and the men work the farms or do crafts or go off trading and live outside the household.

Question: How many of you would practice polygyny if it were legal to do so? I seen this earlier and there was only one response. I would really like to hear some good answers to this question. If you could be part of a large family..would you? Polygyny is a man with more than one wife.

Answer: Dear woman, polygamy means to have more than one spouse. It is not uncommon the world over or even Biblically speaking. Hawai'i (before white men came) enjoyed polygumous lifestyles, that were not limited to only men, but also women can have more than one husband- which actually makes more sense. One man has a hard time providing for more than one woman (unless he is Donald Trump) however, it makes sense that a woman would have more than one husband, even anthropologically speaking. While one husband hunts, the other is home to guard against predators. I don't see a problem with polygamy, as long as they are consentual adults. None of this marrying teenaged girls to old decrepid men. That's child abuse. One should choose FOR THEMSELVES and have NO ramifications for declining. Other than that...I can see it really lessing my workload if I could share it...besides, I don't even want to sleep with my husband! LOL...let her do it! I'll go shopping for us!

Question: How many wives did Moses have? Caleb? Polygyny is not forbidden by jesus,when did xians give it up and why?

Answer: The general rule of having more than one (living) wife is this; When God says it's okay, then it's okay. When he says to stop, then stop. Most problems with it came from people deciding to act selfishly without having God's permission. These days the 'taboo' against it is primarily a older European opinion, not necessarily a Christian doctrine. As for who had how many, I haven't read up on those details.

Question: Which Religions Perform Polygamy, Polyandry and/or Polygyny?

Answer: There are a disgusting number of men in the US who do it under the banner of general Christianity. There is no specific prohibition, just tradition and law against it.

Question: Bride Wealth and Polygyny in Africa? Lattie has another question :) What countries in Africa still practice Bride Wealth and Polygyny? Thanks!!! and please post ur sources too!

Answer: When I was in Mauritania, many of the men I got to know would complain that they weren't able to marry because they didn't have enough money for the bride. I told them that, in India, it is the bride who must have money in order to marry. Their eyes became as big as saucers when I told them that. I don't remember so many men in Mauritania that had more than one wife, though I did hear of it in Senegal and Mali. It's basically the Muslim countries where you will find that, though such is also true, for example, among the Masai's in Kenya. I met the son of a chief who said that he will have eight wives when he grows up.

Question: Why did God use Himself as an example of one who practices polygamy, specifically, polygyny? Ezekiel 23 and Jeremiah 3 make it clear that God considered Himself married to more than one woman. This is tacit proof that God does not view polygyny as sin. If He did, he would be considered a hypocrite!

Answer: I think this could be taken metaphorical. Christ often compares himself as the bridegroom and refers to many brides. However, it is obvious that this is a metaphor. I wouldn't try to "label" God as a practitioner of polygamy as I doubt it would be taken well. However, it is clear from the old testament that God encouraged many to take more than one wife. The fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, all had more than one wife that God instructed them to take. Thus, we can conclude that polygamy is not as abhorrent to God as many like to make it out to be. We humans have a hard time accepting the fact that God's culture may not be our own. We assume that God values the same things we do and has the same cultural taboos and norms we have been taught. Reading the Bible through our cultural perspectives often lead us to misunderstandings of what is truly being communicated. We overlook those things that we find culturally troublesome, and put a lot of emphasis on those things we find culturally in line with our own. This is not the way we learn of God and become His.

Question: postnuptial agreement? It's been 4 years of our marriage. But I have problems with my husband since we got married. I understood day by day he married me for paper. I am disable. He married me knowing that and it was arranged marriage. We have son together now, 2 years old. My husband is verbally abusive to me. I couldn't take it any longer. We been physically separated. Now he wants chance. I don't trust him, I know he wants to come back because he still needs me for immigration matter. I told him he have to do POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENT WITH ME. NOW MY QUESTION IS: CAN I ADD CHILD CUSTODY, CHILD SUPPORT, ALLIMONY AND VISITATION IN THERE? If so, it will be very good for me and for my son's future. PLEASE HELP. IF SOMEONE REALLY KNOW OR DID POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENT BEFORE LET ME KNOW. is there any lawyer or attornet number can be provide to me please? MY SON IS MY ONLY ASSET. I don't want to fight for him in court in case there is a divorce in the future. That's why I want to be in a safe side.

Answer: Provided your husband is willing to sign it, you can require that he bow and address you as "your majesty". So, yes, child support, visitation, alimony and the like can all be included. In order for a nuptial contract to be valid and less likely contestable, however, you need to have it written by an attorney well-versed in the laws of your area. Also, if your husband is an abusive personality, you are wise to keep him out of your home and away from you, especially given your physical impairment. You should get legal advise regarding that situation as well and keep records and document every interaction with him. Keep close friends or relatives aprised of his behavior toward you.

Question: Do I need a lawyer for a postnuptial agreement in CA? I have been married to my wife for about 2 years now here in California. Me and my wife agreed to a postnuptial agreement. Do I need an attorney for this ? Or can we just draft a contract and notarized. We rent an apartment, and have no children.

Answer: Do you need a dentist for a toothache? The answer is that it depends. The value of an attorney is having someone who can tailor a standardized post-nuptial to your unique concerns as a married couple. No one can tell you if you need one. Think of it this way, though: Why do people always end up on People's Court? Improperly handled legal matters...like poorly drafted contracts. My sentiment would be that you should DRAFT an agreement, then take it to an attorney for a review prior to notarizing it. That would be pretty cheap. And that way, the attorney could look it over. The short-term cost is worth avoiding a long-term hassle. I you mean, do you HAVE to have one to have a valid one, then it depends upon your California State Laws, and a California Attorney can answer that. Two final thoughts: 1. Why do you need a postnuptial? This is important for how it is drafted. 2. Law schools often have free clinics and you can get low cost or free-legal advice from law students who are overseen by law school faculty. Look in your area for a Family Law clinic at a law school, and see if they take clients pro bono. Best of luck.

Question: Is there such a thing like postnuptial agreement & would it hold up in a court of law? I just got married & found out that my wife married me for reasons other than love. Is there a thing like postnuptial agreement instead of prenuptial agreement ? If she is willing to sign a postnuptial agreement, would it be legal & would it hold up in the court of Law ? Any such real cases held in past ? Thank You.

Answer: Yes there is such a thing and yes they are legal and will hold up in court. Good Luck http://www.equalityinmarriage.org/dmpost…

Question: My husband agreed to sign a postnuptial agreement ? he offered that he would allow me to keep the children and our assets if we divorce. Can a lawyer just draft the postnuptial agreement so that all i have to is have him sign it and get it notarized? Why is there a process involved, if he's willing to sign the paper? We reside in Virginia

Answer: I know someone in VA who tried this and then got divorced. You could do it of course but the lawyer would just be taking your money. He will know that it is just a worthless piece of paper.Any good lawyer can just rip through it later as property and custody laws are what they are. This women I know had it used against her and she ended up utterly screwed financially. Since she made it so clear cut she had no bargaining chips. As far as the kids were concerned the court did not give one whit about the paper. Marriage is about trust and assuming that you will not get a divorce. That is marriage. I know others who have had prenups as well basically they all set themselves up for failure at a personal level. One can just know that a divorce with children involved can be a huge hassle and cost much in so many ways.... including emotional for all involved. So one might tend to try harder to keep the marriage together. A man is going to think that you have something hanging over him. You could take the house and his kids. He will never think he is a husband. To walk into an office and sign? Personally.... if you think you need something like a post nup..... your family and marriage are screwed.

Question: Postnuptial agreement in what state? Do I get a postnuptial agreement in the state i was married in, or the state where I now live (just moved here)? Thanks!

Answer: The state were you were married has no relevance to any contract unless that is where you now reside. For the contract to be valid all you need is the signature of both parties. The matter of jurisdicition is another issue. But not one that will invalidate the contract, only define how and where it will be heard.

Question: Do i need witnesses sign in postnuptial agreement? Me and My husband is doing a postnuptial agreement together, we did it ourselves. I research about how to write it before.

I FORGOT TO ASK HIM THAT DO WE NEED WITNESSES FOR THIS? OR ME AND MY HUSBAND SIGNING IN FRONT OF NOTARY PUBLIC IS ENOUGH? Actually I got only one witness is my mom, and my husband side he couldn't get any of his family memebers. No one wants to get involve in these. Actually I was taking separation from my husband. He was so irresponsible and abusive to me. We have son together. Because of my son I thought of giving him one more chance. If a agreement can save this marriage then why not?

Is it possible to get that form from somewhere else in cheaper price? Or may be it can be to a notary? or bank may be? Any one have any idea? please let me know.................

Question: Does anyone have experience with postnuptial agreements? I am wondering if it is possible to develop a postnuptial agreement where individual acts as decided upon by the couple that if they occur will result in a divorce and specific compensation for the other spouse according to which act was performed? (i.e., Can my husband and I sign something that says "in the event he does X again, she is entitled to x% of his money, assets, etc and a divorce"??) To clarify, there is no pre-nup. I want solid financial security for compensation should my husband break serious promises again (which were already grounds for divorce). As in, if I give him a second chance and he messes up, can I have the legal right to a set percentage of his assets for my financial security? He is willing to agree to this kind of contract. I want to know if it can be done and how?

Answer: You must be nuts . . . post nuptial agreements . . . to give you more than 50% of everything he has . . . in case he cheats. The only way you want this clause in a post nup . . . is probably because he had you sign a pre-nup . . . didn't he. My questions is . . . what did you do to deserve all that . . .

Answer: Well if she is willing to sign, you put what you want and if she does sign then that is what you will get. You can put what you don't want her to have and all that good stuff and when it comes to the divorce proceedings then the things that she signed for won't be touched when they are distributing things. You are lucky that she is willing to sign, because lord knows she doesn't have to! Good Luck!
