The marriage contract

He confessed to you in love, offered his hand and heart, presented the ring and you have appointed with the wedding date. Everything is bright, festive and wonderful! Pleasing pre-wedding chores, giddy happiness, swarming plans for family life. Your love will be eternal! Perfect! Beautiful!

And all this, of course, wonderful. But stop for a moment and consider: Have you ever heard anything about specific legal rights and responsibilities of spouses? Do you know about the existence of a set of laws called the "Family Code"? How do you divide the marital zavodik? Your steamer? The apartment, car, cottage, stocks and bonds? No, really, about any divorce, and can be no question! We are talking about guarantees and confidence - and it is a little bit different things.

A little bit of history. Thousands of years ago in ancient Greece and Rome, a man and woman before a family, decorations for an agreement, which describes its property relations, once also discussed the issue of inheritance in the future joint property. Later, the popularity of marriage contracts varied depending on the point of view of the dominant church, the style of the reign of the current ruler, etc.

But in the memory of future generations is preserved an interesting fact: after Pushkin's death, his widow, Natalia Goncharova, thanks to the marriage contract, managed to escape from the clutches of the creditors of her dowry - linen factories. And maybe because of them, too, she successfully married for the second time. During the joint ownership of the means of production - who does not remember, when the Soviet Union - it was ridiculous to talk about some property.

Now times have changed. For some, they have changed so much that the question of the regulation of property relations is an edge. What it is?

The marriage contract - a written agreement or, in other words, is simply a deal between the future spouses of different, first of all property aspects of family life. This document is certified by a notary public, each of the newlyweds received a copy and the original remains in lawyer.

Over time, it will be possible to alter, amend the conditions of the marriage contract, Affirming the new text in the same notary's office. The agreement can execute before the wedding and after. In the first case it shall take effect from the date of registration of marriage, and the second - after notarization.

It is worth remembering that the law is always higher than any contract (marriage contract and the contract is precisely), and it is impossible to specify the issues which are contrary to law. And none of the notary is not a sign. Any conditions of the marriage contract relating to non-property relationships of spouses are void.

The law prohibits any way affect the marriage contract of the rights of children. You can not set the contract with whom the child will live a common after a divorce (this issue can be solved either spouse after a divorce, or in court). It is not allowed to restrict the right of the spouses to apply to the court.

In other words, the conditions of the marriage contract is invalid, determining, for example, that the division of property will be made only in accordance with the terms of the contract, and a call for partition in court inadmissible. However, if the marriage contract is concluded, and contains provisions on the division of property in case of divorce, the court will first be guided by them.

Some tips:

Marriage of Convenience

How little you need to be happy, right?

Just want to meet a handsome, wealthy (and not least - generous), intelligent, interesting, charming, gentle, kind, loving man, with a good sense of humor,

expensive cars in the garage, cottage by the sea, two-bedroom apartment in the city center. It's such a small thing!

Of course, your current boyfriend is also nothing, but makes it a little bit, and no apartment and no prospect at all!

Why are we looking for a rich man?

You, of course, remember the stories that my mother read to you as a child and that you are now reading to their children. We were not brought up on articles about Marxism and Leninism, we were told of Cinderella, who is married to a rich prince and Ivan the Fool, who married the richest princess.

That now we adults call greed, profit, calculation was embedded in us since childhood. It is a natural desire of every girl could meet a handsome prince. Note! Not of Emel the stove we dreamed of as a child, namely a prince!

When are lovely teenage years, and we are confronted with elementary everyday problems (buy bread, washing powder, pay utility bills), we have a natural desire to be sure that we can for all this to pay at this month and next .

Money gives us confidence in the future, give us freedom and independence to many things. When a person begins to "push elementary bytovuha" from the romance no trace remains.

Calculation in a relationship - it is a natural need, but ...

When a marriage of convenience becomes a mistake?

As for material gain are you ready to make concessions, to break their principles and freedom, this money grows into a relationship, and you begin to demand from his men the money as if it is obligated to buy you a new mink coat and pay twelfth this year's trip to Egypt .

Naturally the desire that we all want to live well and beautifully.

But if you're willing to live with a man without experiencing any feelings for him, but the desire to once again reached into his wallet, sooner or later you will regret it.

I do not want to scare you type the phrase "God sees everything," but just think about what you would if you did the same as you're doing with your "sponsor"? Truth is that to pay for everything, it is still relevant.

Yes, you can excuse yourself with some facts of his life (it is necessary to raise to the baby's feet, you do not want to return to the "communal" to her mother), but then I ask you another question: Who gave you the right to sacrifice the feelings of one person for the sake of the other's feelings ? Decide, of course, you.

I know a lot of couples, where my friend got married on the calculation, and all they have successfully develops in marriage: her husband, over time, feelings, love, family relations smooth and harmonious.

But that's the question, "Do you stay with him, if he ceases to make good money?", I hear the answer is "no, I will look for another rich." I do not wish any man a wife. Yes, and you yourself would not wish her husband, ready to get away from you if you suddenly remain without a job, right?
