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."

"hard facts make bad law."
That's a puzzling statement. It's interesting, but probably needs a "for instance" example to make sense to those of us without Law Degrees.
Oh..... I almost left out another segment of humanity that will need further enlightenment if they are to fully benefit from this small truism.
That'd be East Coast Lawyers

Excellent observation but,if she signs the damn thing, my client will at least be protected.
That's all I care about. With this particular retainer, anyways.

Seems sorta obvious, if she hates his friend there's either something wrong with the friend or something wrong with her. Like others have said, most likely its her. The friend is the one with creditor/bankruptcy issues.

That's all I care about. With this particular retainer, anyways. I'm on your side, Bob. But I'm wondering if the friend's issues with creditors and skirting bankruptcy law don't give the gf some credibility in her opinion of him. I'm not looking for an answer to that question. It sounds like a potential mess to me but a pre-nup can't hurt. And with all due respect to Scott F and like-minded people, you don't really know your partner until it's time for a divorce. And then it's too late.

I'd just give it all to my buddy now. If that runs her off, he's better off anyway.

Right? I also know you'd give it back if I needed it. A women not so much.

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?

It seems very ironic that women are so big on "tests" in relationships and evidently it's lost on this ho that the whole thing may be one.

It always cracked me up when Fez on That 70's Show, would call all their girlfriends "whores" because supposedly the word in his language was interchangeable or something.

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.
If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.

That'd be East Coast Lawyers Since I didn't get an answer, I studied on this a little more: All I get is that Lawyers prefer Laws that are general in nature, leaving room for different applications. And creating a need for more Lawyers. Am I close?

It's difficult to explain to those not in the privileged class.
Hasn't your son told you that by now?
