From my research, prenup seems to be none binding in Malaysia. But may be used as a reference in court, seems ambiguous as to how much of weight it carries in court as it doesn't guarantee the conditions of prenup.

My questions to non-Muslims, how do you protect your assets in the event of divorce? Also, what is the "default" entitlement for man and woman, is it 50/50?

Men who are going through it or with past experience, what have you done or think you should have done earlier? Did you manage to win any dispute, if you had any in the past regarding this matter?

few family members went thru divorce.
normally very gentlemen will give the house to the ex-wife.
alimonies tak tahu ada bagi tak. coz never ask them.
then about children, never rebut. just follow mom, when free can go visit the children anytime

Good luck bro. I hope things work out well for you.

set up trust,

Try the Achraf Hakimi strategy, transfer all your assets to your mother.

While pre-nups are not binding, the judge will also try to give a fair separation. Mostly they just want to see that the man is not leaving the wife with nothing. Judges are people too.

I thought split of assets only applies to those accumulated after date of marriage?

"fairness" will be very subjective and won't be very fair if it is based on the fair definition of the judge alone, without a real objective guide for this kind of dispute. What if the judge is a misandrist or have some personal bias.

Anyways, my question was, what can be done to protect one's asset. If you have any idea or experience, share it.

that's why divorce is usually best negotiated with a legally appointed mediator.

Anyway, I had a blacksheep uncle who never kept any asset or money under his own name. He had shell companies set up and confidantes to hold his assets. So in his 3 divorces, he just left them high and dry.

For properties, if you bought before getting married it won’t be split.

How about shares and other kind of assets that easily liduidate?

( wife asset + husband asset ) divice by two is what ppl want.

The truth is depend on how u nego with your ex. Usually will avoid to trigger each other, if drag to courtroom in the end lawyer win all. Most of the time the ex-wife will think she entitled to half of everything, bising mau go courtroom. End up just attrition battle, keep going to court until she give up. I have friend battle in court for close to 5 years, toward the end the wife just gave up and agree for 200k cash settlement.

look at murica esp California law
the men are desperately getting away from marriage lmao

It is case by case basis.
If got 3rd party involve then it will become very complicated especially if spouse already planning it for example keeping proof of assist to do repayment and etc then yea... Again, it is case by case basis

Of course in an ideal world and scenario, we would prefer a peaceful end, but a lot(mostly wealthy people) will go through dispute of wealth, and a lot will be unprepared for it.

I need answer to this as well.

Maybe can invite your uncle to this thread to learn a thing or two

It seems even cheating ex wives get a lot in the settlement .

Convert...then divorce
