I get it. I totally understand that joint filing is highly beneficial and can net someone thousands of dollars. But something has to offset you getting bent over x2 your original gains when the divorce happens. Everything in life is somewhat of a gamble.
Who wrote the marital rights laws in Iowa?

I am not on our loan because my credit at the time was pretty lousy. Should I get nothing from the house if she chooses to divorce me?
Apparently I read old data. New is saying now around 65% of first marriages stick and divorce rates are declining . Even lower rates of divorce are with college degreed and those who get married in mid 20s or later.
So if you get married 25 or older and both have higher education you are probably well over 80% success of staying together.
Document what you pay monthly into equity fkr a doomsday scenario. If you dont than its her house.
I can’t believe all the losers, I thought I was on Hawk Report.
You want to keep a spreadsheet of who pays what on every expense?
Actually the lowest rate of divorce is 2 men. But my wife may not be happy if I said yes.
It seems like a lot of people who are against marriage just don't like to share. Everything in my life is ours, it's not a collection of my stuff and her stuff.
I get that a marriage ending can be the culmination of years of contempt and resentment, which makes people angry and vengeful. But if you're just constantly keeping score of what's yours and what's theirs even early on when things are good, that's not a recipie for success IMO.

I feel like the OP started this expecting everyone to come to this thread to rail against the backwoods laws of the bumpkin state of Iowa only to find out that his friend is a moron who possibly committed mortgage fraud and that this common sense law is in place in every state in the nation.
The outcome that guy is experiencing was pretty foreseeable via common sense, there's no denying that.
Of course he was, he always comes up with a question any functioning person knows the answer to. He enjoys it, and honestly it cracks me up.
News for you buddy, it's like this most if not all states. He should have filed for divorce before buying. She could give up her rights to the property with a quit claim, but I'm guessing that is unlikely. Marriage is a legal union of assets, dispite what you say all his assets are shared until he divorces.
"This country" then. And its absolute ********. The laws are antiquated and assume everyone gets married for the same reasons.
50% is a bit skewed as there are many repeat offenders, the Liz Taylor types. 50% of marriages end in divorce, but 50% of people who get married don't get divorced.
