I may have come around on this...voting for Woz is so anti-meritocratic, and helps prove how pathetic these populist-based reality shows really are that it's brilliant. Subvert and destroy by working within the system...GO WOZ!

Her last name is Smirnoff? Really?

Isn't she the one that was getting poked by Mario Lopez?

Artist - it's all written in the secret code us traitorous liberals use to plot our terrorist activities and other miscellaneous America-hating.

What does this have to do with Obama? He and Palin are taking the stage together next season.

Steve! READ!

The perfect ironclad prenuptial agreement


There are certain crucial elements that go into creating an ironclad prenuptial agreement. Depending on the complexity of the assets involved, a prenup does not have to cost too much but it will almost certainly cost less than a divorce. It is also important to bear in mind that while the courts almost always tend to rule in favor of prenups, even in cases of adultery or domestic violence, they also employ a "smell-test:" If the court determines that one of the elements of a set aside exists, or your spouse can demonstrate gross unfairness, it will rule against you.

Be sure that both parties have legal representation when drawing up a prenup. If your spouse does not have his/her own attorney, in the event of a divorce there may be grounds for setting aside any premarital agreement.

--Any binding prenup must be witnessed by an attorney or a notary. It is not enough to shake hands on a prenup, let alone sign it yourselves. It may all seem like so much litigious formality at the time but if the worst happens, you'll find that it won't stand up in court.

--Full financial disclosure is imperative. Remember, asking for a prenup is tantamount to telling your future spouse you don't trust them. Don't give them any ammunition by being deceitful yourself. Raoul Felder suggests that you should overstate your net worth by at least ten percent. Although that may seem reckless, if there is any appearance of fraud, even if it is an honest mistake, your spouse's lawyers will pounce on it and the court will rule against you.

--Prenups should be free of any hint of duress so, unpleasant though it may be in the full bloom of love, if you are planning on asking for a prenup get it over with as soon as possible. "Once the invitations have been sent out, the hall has been hired and the menu chosen and the wedding's a week away, that's no time to sign a prenup," says Felder. "It is very difficult to say no at this point and a court will take that into account in case of divorce."

--Undue influence must also be avoided. It cannot appear that your spouse had no choice in signing a prenup. "Sign this prenup or I'll fire your brother," is no way to hold on to your money.

--Another no-no is unconscionability. If your spouse has no assets of their own, you cannot leave them destitute. It is illegal for the court to go against public policy (i.e., placing your wife on public assistance) and it is likely to rule against you.

--Every good prenup should clearly define what is marital property and what is separate property . Different states have different definitions of what constitutes one or the other. For example, New York is a non-title state, meaning that a home bought during the marriage automatically becomes marital property even if only one of the spouses physically paid for it. (New York State law rules in favor of equitable distribution in most divorce cases.) The distinction between the two can become very fine and is the kind of thing that can occupy lawyers very happily for years so make sure the prenup is very clear about what is what.

--Some prenups explicitly state that the signee waives all rights to all monies other than those stipulated in the agreement. Many, however, do not. It is common to have one partner thinking they have an ironclad prenup only to learn that the other still has claims to maintenance, estate rights, child support and, ironically, legal fees.

--Any good matrimonial attorney will also advise you to include a "triggering event" which would automatically initiate divorce proceedings and would distinguish between marital and separate property as of that date. (The event can be as simple as a registered letter.) This can be invaluable, particularly if your prenup is based on providing your spouse with a percentage of your wealth and you are expecting any future earnings, inheritance or other monies.

--Avoid bizarre or unreasonable demands. Don't stipulate that your children have to be raised as circus clowns or that your spouse has to wear nothing but spandex body stockings. Any judge will throw it right out of court.

--Just because you've done everything correctly, don't think that your spouse still can't put the screws to you. In New York state, for example, anyone who signs a prenup has six years from the time the agreement is signed to contest its terms.

Think about it. He's the original Apple geek.

@HMCIV

She is not worth it. This is California. A couple years of barfing his bloated butt and she'll own half of everything.

She's a cancer!

THE TRAMP SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COST!

"I'd walk down the isle with you." Sheesh.

Duh.

How do we save him?

This is going to be harder than the time I got the 18 Black Ford SUVS, 36 midgets, and 6 pit bulls to get Wynona Ryder out of jail and when I got there she was gone already.

Still don't know what to do with this helicopter.

Maybe I can get the Mighty Mini Ranger Assault Force back together again and snatch Steve from the wedding.

She "touched his heart."

Lord.

She touched something alright.

Some of you didn't read the article. He's just WALKING her down the aisle and NOT marrying her.

Mar 30, 09 - 05:42 pm Comment from: Think

Are you guys that thick??

Reread the article. He is not marrying her.

He is walking her down the aisle, traditionally done by the father, so her dad is either to old to do it or has passed on.

She is marrying Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

."..and it looks like he may play a key role in her upcoming wedding to pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy,"

Some of you need remedial reading lessons before blasting off on a message board.

Read the damn article WOZ is not marrying her!!!

duh............

Mar 30, 09 - 05:44 pm Comment from: Toasty

LOL, all you guys think Woz is getting married to her? Read again guys. It's doesn't say that at all!

I don't use a spell checker. I went school in Oxford, England and had to learn English again in the US.

theloniusMac,
He is walking her down the aisle like a father would do. He is not lucky enough to be marrying a piece of @$$ that fine!

"The perfect ironclad prenuptial agreement "

Woz isn't getting married, dude. He's giving the bride away. They're just friends.

Dang, Thelonius, you wasted 12+ paragraphs there.

Well, no, maybe not. Even if, as you found out, it doesn't apply to Woz and Smirnoff, I found the advice most helpful

Mar 30, 09 - 07:00 pm Comment from: It's About Time

I'm looking forward to what the judges have to say. Each time, they have looked so pained by the experience...similar to what happens when you use a Vista system, or are seriously constipated.

**Johnson reports, "Of course being able to make that walk depends on how well he heels from injuries he's sustained throughout competition on the show. Wozniak is nursing a fractured foot and a pulled hamstring."**

Love the "heels" pun (perhaps unintentional)!

"Microsoft has been a sponsor of the Cannes International Advertising festival since 2002. The sponsorship deal expires following the festival in 2010."

I smell contract renewal!!!

Sorry jumped to the wrong thread. That was for the Monkey boy post.

Good work, Woz. Damn fine pelt!

Why shoud we vote for that fat assed nerd??!! He sucks as a dancer and that's all people should be voting for! Besides that show sucks!

It's easy to tell you learned it here old chap.

ron,

"Why shoud we vote ..."

See the results of an American education?

Dork.

>Read the damn article WOZ is not marrying her!!!
>duh............

C'mon, give these guys a break. Marriage typically follows a relationship with a woman; how much can they be expected to know about weddings?

READ!


""he may play a key role in her upcoming wedding to pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy," Johnson reports. "'She said I could walk her down the aisle, and it touched my heart,' Wozniak recently told The Insider."

Since Woz is a famous serial-groom, happy he's just giving her away this time.

And if he WAS marrying her... well isn't that the point of being rich and famous?

Hey MDN, learn to spell OK?
"how well he HEELS from injuries he's sustained "
Will he be wearing heels? or
Will he HEAL?

"Hey MDN, learn to spell OK?"

Learn how to read. That was a direct quote from the The New York Daily News article. Although I am surprised MDN didn't insert their usual (sic).
