QUOTE(Calvin Seak @ Oct 11 2024, 06:56 AM) Hey bro hope things are going good for you For your question, please take everyone's opinion with a pinch of salt.. The only person qualified to answer you is a lawyer with experience From my understanding even if people suggest you to liquidate the assets that you have and put it somewhere else so that on paper it doesn't belong to you
The court will trace back all transactions that has been transffered out within 3 years.. The reason why I know this is that I am a real estate agent for luxury condos and a client is going through a divorce and asked me for advice regarding his properties, so I seeked council from the lawyers I've met throughout my career u can transfer to family members , the reason of transfer, Kasih Sayang

QUOTE(lindtra @ Dec 26 2023, 11:35 AM) 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? You ask about prenup means you haven't got married yet right? because nobody marries, then later ask to do a prenup contract. Usually they discuss before marriage. but in msia, I don't tink prenup applies. i believe for someone that is afraid that if their assets kena divided, better not to get married lor.

Expect to pay around RM9-10k all in for a joint petition or double that for a single petition for a good lawyer. Just don’t ask me how I know so much.

Prenup doesn’t hold any water in court as it is not legally recognized and it’s at the presiding judge’s discretion on whether if your prenup is valid or not. Don’t bother with it.

More profilic lawyers are able to charge more and you as the client is willing to pay more due to being able to save money in the long run. Don’t be penny wise, pound foolish when it comes to things that has long term consequences. My advice to TS as someone who went through something similar, is to engage the best family law expert you can find to make sure that the petition is fair to both parties.

Too much issue to a point of divorce but with young kids involve i wanted peacefu pathway.
Wife lawyers (crazy b*t*cH) n stupid family/friends forcing to fight 90% and ALL properties - leaving me with 10% with excuse; "its for the child".
till today; living unhappy with no solution.
Paksa to stay for now; thinking if i should fight but cannot as will impact the kids. OR waste all my propetry and 90% income which she will spent/give my hard earn on her aunty brother parents and other bullshits.
Personally she should get nothing TAPI im happy happy if agreed 50% (but not forever la) and hoping Custody (<5yrs old) go to me
