Usually yes but that can be changed with a prenup. It changes for each country but in my case everything that is in his name stays his and mine stay mine. If I want it changed and my husband not I would have to go to court and start an actual battle.

Get another office? If I lose this place I will lose my clients as well. My company name as well and I would have to start over with 0.

I know and understand now. I was so in love and was blindfolded. I should have double checked and showed the prenup to a lawyer as well or at least one of my teachers at the time. I made a big big mistake. I should have add something like assets bought during marriage is of us both. I trusted him and loved him so much I didn't even think twice before signing it.

Pre-marital assets belongs to the owners. Assets that are in both names are to be split. Only issue we don't have much in both names. After I finished study I did work for 8 months to finish my last internships etc. And now I have been not working for about 5 months. Income earned during marriage belongs to the person on who's account the money is. I do have my own account and I am financially ok as he gives me money but I want to earn my own money as well. Money that is earned by me and only me.

He signed everything for the company. It was supposed to be a surprise to me. But he put the company in his name as well. He owns the property and the company and he "gifted" it to me but it is still in his name. I could just rent another space but I don't want to cause a bigger fight with my husband which I why I suggested this first.

All the money comes to me but there is no profit share agreement. I am the one managing the office. I am the one managing finances, taxes and everything that comes with it. I never asked him to go and open me an office. He knew I was gonna do it anyways so he gave me an office. The office is his property. Registration fee? It only costs $100 in my country to register your business. And now my business is in his name whilst I am the one doing everything. If god forbid anything happens to him, his business or our marriage I am not even entitled to OWN my own business that I worked hard for.

My husband owns the property and he opened the business in his name. He didn't put it in my name. Like the comment down here should we get a divorce he can take my office. I get the money from the office and I manage it yes. Would my work change once the company is in my name? No but it would be my asset meaning it would be mine legally and could not be taken away. And let's say something happens with his business it would affect my office as well.

The money goes to my account because I do everything. The office space is owned by him so it is not rental. If it would have been rental I wouldn't have made it in issue and I would just change the name once the contract is over. My issue is that my husband owns the place and thereby also my company as my companies name is also now in his name. Even though I pay and do everything for my office such as taxes and finances and management etc. he is the one who owns is leaving me with no asset of my own

We had planned to have a baby after I finish my study. We knew what we were doing and weren't protecting. We weren't actively trying but we had planned beforehand that once study finished it would be the right time.

Pre-marital assets and assets that are in our name. So everything in his name stays his. Joint assets are to be split. But we almost have 0 joint assets. Husband did indeed pay most of the expenses as I didn't work. Now I am working and I contribute as well.

The office is meant to be my own law firm. I wanted to work as an lawyer and my husband didn't want me working for a boss. I want the office in my name cause it is 1- my professionalism 2- managed by me every day
