So when I first became a biggerpocket's member I asked a question in the forums is REI worth a divorce.. my question is now how can I protect my two vacant lots on the lake that i just purchased since August now that it looks like divorce is for sure coming.. for the past couple of weeks she would leave during the day so I could be able to educate myself with watching podcasts or reading books or driving for dollars etc.. she's been gone for the past three days and nights and I barely heard from her. when I said something about why is her stuff still here if  she wasnt going to come home she said that she would come pack it tomorrow.. well I just got done packing it tonight and I'm wondering if there's a way to protect my investments.. the whole marriage i have been the one taking care of both of us and its been horrible every since i got laid off from working in the plants in west texas.. i was trying to hang on till i could atleast get a post nup signed but now it dont look like that is going to happen.. i was trying to make a better life for the both of us and now it looks like my REI days might be done..

If you owned the property prior to marriage, is it your separate property? 

Also, it can be helpful to get credit cards only in one persons name in the marriage or partnership.  

From a legal standpoint, a partnership joins your finances in the same way that a marriage joins two people's finances.

A good friend of mine is in a failed marriage situation in California.

However, we found out that we probably can't be qualified for 1031 Exchange because of our marriage.  

I live in NYC and I am in the exact same boat, except it's a pair of grifters engaged in marriage fraud who are close friends with neighbors next door, who are also giving me trouble.

Like a marriage, pick your partner carefully.

My wife was renting it for about a year & half prior to marriage, and once I I moved in, started talking to owners to see if they would sell to us as our first family home purchase.
