This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
I have another friend that built his house in 1990 for $110,000, and paid for it in cash, that he had saved for about 10 years (it was his first house). He married in 1991, and she cheated and divorced him in 2003. His house was worth $250,000 at that time, and he had to take out a mortgage for $125,000 to pay her off. In his case, even what he paid before marriage had to be split. He just recently put the house on the market....it take a 2 income family to support it...and living check to check for the last few years has him stressed.
