This has been really interesting. I can't wait to see how it turns out in a few years. Mini series?
I suspect the final result, if there ever is one, will be recorded in the annals of "hard facts make bad law."
I had always thought the adage was actually "Hard CASES make bad law.". The idea being it's a generally bad idea to start passing laws based on outlier (often emotional/controversial) events. You are correct regarding the adage. I tried to simplify it for the great unwashed (non-privileged class, for those in Rio Linda). Plus it's hard facts that make hard cases.

Credibility and/or leverage, right? I'm only tasked with eliminating the 1 mil and it's passive increases from the marital estate or gross income configurations should the marriage last long enough that her financial enabling provisions kick in.
I understand your preferential payment concern and obligation to disclose but my client is not a guarantor of his friend's debt nor do I believe this future promise to be a current attachable asset of the friend or subject to disclosure.
Do you disagree? Certainly not, my friend, but the implications here with just a little tweaking would make a hell of a bar exam question, covering at least four areas of law. Still wondering (and still don't want to know) if to the gf, the sleaze factor of the friend's prior financial activities colors her judgment. I've known one woman who was really good about spotting phonies. The rest, not so much.

Back in the late eighties I ran through them like cord wood.
Now that I'm in my mid fifties things are different.
I see beautiful women every day at work, when the thought of maintenance, the whining, the bitching, the emotional rollercoaster in their DNA, the shopping, the dancing, the dining....they become much less attractive to me.
For the most part women bore the schitt out of me.
I just don't enjoy what most of them call fun.
I have a wife of 23 years that sort of understands me and accepts my wicked ways and that's tough to find.
Still working on her to move though and it still ain't going over very well...

It might be but I'll let her lawyer raise it, if he does. From what I understand, the friends woes come from cc [bleep] and medical expenses not covered by insurance. I've not spoken one word to either the friend or wife to be, for obvious reasons.
As you also well know, I'm attempting to simply move forward advocating the wishes of my client. If I protect that 1 mil and it's passive earnings from all else, I believe I will have accomplished all that was required of me.
If your very good brain is taking you to fraud in the inducement or collusion, then another set of players can attempt to grab hold of the stash, should it remain intact.
Divorce wise, I think my client is protected though, regardless.
