Sorting a marriage

RobHT

I was wondering how it works in UK with a marriage.
I have few concerns as a man:
1. How do you split the belongings in case of divorce?  I mean precisely when a woman just decides to change idea, not that the man has some bad action.

2. I've heard many bad things in UK, but obviously I couldn't verify these things, it looks like that women could take all the wealth from the man as they were taking before, till a not defined date... I've heard about a reform from EU done recently, also in my country was done the same, but it was just about the max time of divorce, anyway with Brexit everything should come back as before and honestly concerns me...

3. My intention, eventually, it would be to have a contract to prevent the partner taking my things, my income etc, if a divorce is coming, fine, go elsewhere on your own, that's my point, I should make the things in a way that no one can take over the other one, same is for me on her!

Moreover, where should I start to get genuine info about marriages in UK?

1: the reason doesnt matter. It's split based upon need. 

2: no idea what you're talking about. 

3: those are not enforceable.

Dont get married, clearly not for you.

lol.  i have to admit that i was quite concerned about split of assets before i got married and that was one of the reason i didn't like the idea of marriage at all.

Not sure if who replied are all women , but anyway the thing is for both of us, we would agree on that, different reasons behind, but I need to make it sure that is done properly.
It's a bit early for us to talk about it, anyway I have to start one day, and obviously this contract works if signed from both parties, so...

Talking for myself instead, it's precisely because is not right at all to give money to someone that decided a change of life, and this happens too frequently, and in UK I've seen this precisely, people paying the other side life, in the meantime receiving other money from the new partner...
Don't tell me that is right!

Are you telling me that a contract signed from both parties doesn't work? Or it doesn't exist?

Moreover, I could also drop the idea of marriage, for a similar one like living under the same roof declared as partner, not sure in UK how that way to live is called.
With that, basically there are important things like getting into the hospital and help that person (privacy matters), and many other things, I may just think to some company benefit or whatever.

It doesnt work. 

No such thing as declared partner.

No im a man. And frankly your suggestions so far are deplorable. 

Thankfully most women will see that and avoid you like the plague.

in the UK, unlike the US, you can't agree on split of assets in a contract as that would be ignored under divorce laws.  when it comes to splitting assets here is the law

http://bevanevemy.co.uk/how-to-divide-assets-in-a-uk-divorce/

you can agree between yourselves to split assets during divorce proceedings but often people tend to become greedy and malicious when they get divorced as most divorce are not amicable and things may have become ugly when it gets to that point.

generally women with young children benefit under UK divorce laws, if they are the one without assets.  the person with the most assets is generally the one who loses out as that has to be shared 50/50 pretty much if not more to the woman as she has children to look after and house.
