We`re in love, we trust each other, we`ll never get divorced - who needs a prenup? It`ll just spoil our relationship. That`s many Chinese young people`s thinking, though maybe not their parents`.

Nevertheless, as people become more affluent and ffxiv gil divorce rates rise, an increasing number of couples are signing prenuptial agreements on division of property in case of divorce.

"I know nobody wants to talk about divorce before marriage -- it sounds ridiculous. It`s like talking about a funeral at a newborn`s birthday. But practically speaking, a prenuptial agreement does save a lot of time and
ff14 gil disputes in court," Shanghai divorce lawyer Mike Liang said.

Prenuptial agreements, not unusual in the West, are legal contracts signed before two people enter civil union, and include details of property division. For many years these legal instruments were considered peculiar by many Chinese. They were considered proof of how cold-blooded and FF14 Power leveling calculating rich people can be - so shrewd they must even consider the possibility of divorce before marriage.

But along with hectic economic development, a large group of ordinary Chinese now own some property - apartments, vehicles, gold, jewelry, stocks, art, antiques and other FFXIV Power leveling assets. Now there is property to divide in a settlement, and quite a bit can be acquired before marriage.

"I have been getting a lot of inquiries from couples who are about to get married, from young to old, about half and half, and increasingly more in the past three years," lawyer Liang said.

He adds that many people come to buy runescape gold him as individuals, asking whether they can conduct the required ownership verification of prenuptial property by themselves alone - without telling the future spouse.

Some are relieved to find out that ownership of their cheap ffxiv gil apartment, car and other things purchased before marriage does not have to be verified, Liang said. By law, which many don`t know, they are not and will not be considered community property and won`t change hands in a divorce, without consent.

But many others worry that the materialism and rs gold pragmatism represented by a prenuptial accord may harm the necessary bedrock trust in a relationship, suggesting lack of faith and true love. Many who do consider it decide never to raise the issue.

Rebecca Liu, a 27-year-old accountant, recently broke up with her 29-year-old boyfriend Jerry Xu as they started discussing the possibility of marriage, after dating for a year and half.

The reason was simple: Xu`s parents, who bought his apartment and runescape money car, insisted on a prenuptial property agreement so he would not lose the property in case of divorce. Xu obeyed his parents decision, saying, "It`s their money and I don`t have any grounds on which to argue with them about this."

His compliant attitude upset Liu who says an agreement would demonstrate "lack of trust in our relationship, my love for him and even my morality."

They broke up after two months of arguments, neither willing to compromise.
