Its usually done through an off-shore trust based in the Cayman Islands. But as with divorces, the lawyers are very expensive.

I think people only got married, to save on Tax before a certain month
Or if they were pregnant

I didn’t say that you had to stay together Helen, it’s just that having made promises, it seems a bit hypocritical to make the same promises to somebody else…

Me neither Boot, but that’s my opinion and I thought that’s what commenting on a post was all about?
If people break promises though, don’t expect me to lend them money… 
A woman has to divorce a man who abuses her in every way. It is he who has broken his promises wouldn’t you say ?

- “in my eyes, you can only marry once or you are an hypocrite and not to be trusted…I mean…how can you be trusted when you have broken a promise, why make it in the first place if you think you might break it. You have lied to God, your spouse, and yourself…Until death us do part! Serious stuff…”
“Nobody is suggesting that anyone should be locked into a relationship, but to make a promise is something that should never be broken and in view of that, I believe marriage should only be allowed once. The God bit of the arrangement is really to rubber stamp the promises you make. In the old days God was probably held in the highest regard, so a promise with him as the presiding official is as high as you could go. Now a registrar probably carries the same weight, but you are still making a solemn promise with someone important overseeing the ceremony. Your word means nothing and is a farce if you keep retracting the thing that you promised for life in the presence of God or a registrar. It’s like welching on a debt!”
“It would appear that nearly all of the protesters about discarding the rules of marriage and getting a divorce are in fact ladies who are divorced themselves… Perhaps they never intended abiding by the contract of marriage in the first place. And even if they had married John the Baptist, the result would have been the same. Perhaps those who are still widowed (not including those who have lost their spouse, my heart goes out to those) were never destined to settle down to a life with one partner anyway. Plus, we only have their side of the story of what went wrong…Obviously the blokes fault… But it takes two to tango, and perhaps the vigour in which some of you have disagreed with me was in fact the reason why you find yourself in the position you are in. I feel for some blokes who have divorced, once the luvvy duvvy stuff wears off the incessant nagging of some women is enough to drive a man to drink or worse…I never condone violence though I hasten to add… I don’t think adultery is a just cause for a divorce. Sometimes one or the other is unable to do the business, but should this be reason for a life of celibacy? Of course not, If I can no longer do the decorating, Mrs Fox gets someone in… I would also like to point out that most of the blokes who fail to waft the flame of love back into life and look elsewhere, it’s usually with a married woman who lost her flame…” *
Well, what can I say? - if you are not here to judge your fellow man, the above quotes from your posts on this thread suggests you are doing a good job of pretending you are being judgemental!
- and your last comment regarding not wanting to lend money to someone who has been divorced is another unsubstantiated judgemental comment, in my opinion.
Although I make no claim to be an expert in personal relationships, I do claim a fair amount of professional expertise in judging financial probity and in my opinion your attempt to link one to the other is another judgemental comment which is not backed up by objective data.
So, now we have both expressed our own opinions on the matter, perhaps we can agree to differ - unless you want to have the last word again, of course!

I would say that she has to leave the sod for her own safety and wellbeing Zuleika (nice to hear from you by the way) but she couldn’t marry another bloke because she would still be married, and as we all know, you can’t commit bigamy.

but nobody “doesnt mean it”
People make promises in good faith with the best of intentions - but sadly it doesn’t always work out.
to expect people then to stay together is pointless - and expecting them to separate but stay legally married, is even more pointless
The idea that people who are divorced or re-married are somehow less trustworthy is very judgemental and absurd.
Whether I lend anything to anyone totally has no connection to their marital status - you sound like a bank manger talking down to someone a century ago

so the woman who leaves an abusive marriage should then stay out of relationships for the rest of her life and stay legally married for the next 50 years or so ??
hard to believe some of your posts are serious.

Im not sure what you mean by flighty folks though so I’m not sure what you think is the cause of most divorces.
I dont think there is a single cause or anything different about people who divorce though.

Folks with “Causes” can appear different, but, in essence, they are the same, probably.
