Legal importance of prenuptial agreements in India
There is not direct clause in the constitution of India that deals directly with prenuptial agreement. However, the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 applies to all matters of Hindu marriages in India. The Muslims, who are in a huge minority in India, have their own law of marriage which is called Muslim Law in which the marriage contract or Nikah is signed by the consent of both parties involved prior to marriage. Since there is no direct provision of prenuptial law in India, the prenuptial agreements hold paramount importance as these contract saves both parties to avoid loss after the divorce. So, a written prenuptial agreement in India saves the future prospects of the couple after the divorce.
In the event of divorce, the written prenuptial agreements make both parties bound to act upon the terms and conditions that they decided before marriage relating to property, houses, furniture, mortgages, children, financial accounts, spousal support, utility bills etc. The prenuptial contract in India holds much worth as it saves both parties to resolve their conflict after divorce in a pre-defied and mutually agreed manner instead of going into the court that can go against the interest of any or both of them.
The prenuptial agreements generally include the following aspects.

1. Personal details of both parties
2. The division of property
3. The ownership of marital residence
4. Capital calculations
5. Mortgages and utility bills
6. All other joint assets
7. Premarital debts (who will be responsible)
8. Financial responsibilities or spousal support
9. Procedure to resolve disputes about the prenup
10. Custody and visitation of the children
11. child support

Time, as I like to refer to it as, is potentially the only thing that’s going to save your relationship with me.  I never know how much I’ll need, so don’t fret if I go a few days without talking to you.  It doesn’t mean I’m talking to some other guy and it also doesn’t mean I never want to talk to you again.

Guys, if she doesn’t answer your phone calls, she’s doing you a favor.  Personally, it means I value our relationship.  (However, if your girl starts the whole answer/hang up thing never allowing it to reach voicemails or ring more than 3x – you’re a gonner.)  If you really want to fix your relationship with her, don’t blow her phone up. (Um. literally or figuratively)  Eventually she’ll answer it, yes, but it’ll just hurt her more talking to you sooner than she wants.  Plus, it’ll start to annoy her.  If your girl is anything like me, a persistent annoyance is something I cannot tolerate.  It’ll only ruin your chances.

If you do make it to the voicemail: DON’T LEAVE RIDICULOUS VOICEMAILS ABOUT HOW SORRY YOU ARE/HOW MUCH YOU’VE MESSED UP/HOW YOU REALLY WANT HER BACK.

I’ve gotten voicemails of exboyfriends crying at 5:30 in the morning apologizing, MORE. BAD IDEA! If you’ve been blowing her phone up and leaving voicemails similar to this all hours of the day: EXPECT THEM TO BE PLAYED FOR EVERYONE. You’re really going to make yourself look like a fool.

Also, if this whole “time” thing doesn’t work for you. DON’T DRAW ASSUMPTIONS. (You know what they say about assuming…) I would HIGHLY recommend that you DO NOT let your anger get the best of you.  Sending her tons of threatening texts & leaving similar voicemails about how you want to harm her exboyfriend (the one you assume she’s wants instead of you) will get you in some serious legal trouble, bud.  

It sucks, but depending on your “crime” and whether or not you’re a repeat offender it’s hard telling how much time she’ll actually need.  Sometimes, going months without talking is the best thing. (DON’T WORRY: You don’t have to wait around forever, but if you really care about this girl “wasting your time” won’t even be a phrase that crosses your mind.)

Plus, long periods of time show her whether or not you’ve really changed.  If that’s what you’re trying to prove to her. (Especially if you’re a repeat offender)

All I can is: You do the crime, you do the time bro.

Throughout the years, I’ve found that running away from my problems seems to be the easiest way out for me.  I hate confrontation, so the thought of actually telling somebody how I actually feel kills me if I feel like they’ll react in a negative way.

My last relationship started out absolutely perfectly.  We hadn’t known each other for long, and neither of us were looking for a relationship.  However, all of the time we spent together just made our unanticipated connection stronger.  Anytime one of us was bothered by something, we were honest about it.  We communicated with each other about everything and that helped to build the strongest bond of trust I had ever shared with someone.

When family problems arose for him, I started feeling guilty about sharing things with him.  I didn’t want to put more worry or stress on him than he already had.  Big mistake.  Not only did all of my stress and frustration from my final weeks of school start building up, but not feeling like I could share anything with him started pulling me away from him.  When my communication with him decreased, his trust for me decreased.  While I wasn’t doing anything untrustworthy, (i.e. cheating – I could never do something like that to someone. ever.) our lack of communication turned our relationship sour.

It got to the point where heated arguments were the only ways we could figure out how to tell each other things. (Sure that is communication, but when anger is the main source, it totally cancels out the positive effect.) If we could have gone back to the way things were before (telling each other things when they arose) instead of letting things build up, things could have turned out a lot differently.  Instead, more petty arguments full of misunderstandings and things that should never have been said, followed by tearful apologies became daily habits.

Despite the heartbreaking turn of events, I prefer to note the part in our relationship that was unlike any other I had ever had before him.  For the first time in my life, I had truly experienced what it was like to 100% trust somebody with my life.  It was the most amazing feeling in the world.  I know now, that the only way that, that can be achieved is by communication.

I’ll still admit that I loved this guy, but sometimes things just aren’t meant to work out.  However, if you’re able to turn your relationship back into the “happy days” then congratulations.  That is something I’m still trying to learn how to do. 

The one piece of advice I’ll give to anyone in a troubled relationship: If it comes to the point in your relationship when you feel like you have no more fight left in you & you find yourself very unhappy & not yourself, wanting to give up doesn’t mean you don’t love that person.  It just means that you might love them in a different way then you thought you did. Also, NEVER settle if you have any doubt.  It might hurt their feelings, but that’s a time when you have to be a little selfish and do what’s best for you.

“Love is joy.  Don’t convince yourself that suffering is a part of it.” – Paulo Coelho 

By  Pamela Lewis

Okay, I swear I think my heart is going to beat out of my chest.  Are my palms sweating?  Geez I think I have a spot on my skirt.   Oh my Gosh!  Am I getting a pimple? Yes, you guessed it.  Its a first date.  Then there is the constant watching the clock.  Wondering if he will show up.  Wondering if he will show up on time or be late.  Does he even want to go out at all?  He’s going to see me peeking out the window every 10 seconds   All  this pacing has made my curls fall out.  The sweat on my face has made my make up need refreshing and I haven’t even stepped out the door yet.

Okay, calm down I tell myself.  First off, there was an attraction between the two of us.  That’s what made us get to this point.  Secondly, he made the first move,  he called me!  If there wasn’t an attraction, he wouldn’t have called, right?  Thirdly, we talked several times on the phone and we know there was a mutual attraction.  That’s what you need as a base for a relationship, right?  I know that when we talked he was attentive and interesting.  So, we have the first glance which led to the attraction, the next move which was the phone call to show further interest, and then the actual “he asked me out”!

Its a wonder that people ever get together, past  the first date.  First dates are the most nerve wracking experiences.  You are just taking those first baby steps to get to know each other.  So what do we do?

Be on time.  If you say you will pick someone up at 7:00, be there as close to 7:00 as you can.  Don’t be early and catch the other person unaware.  They might still be in their underwear and hair rollers.   Show up late, and that person is going to start wondering if you ever wanted to go out.  It also makes people think, hummm is he always like this (unreliable).  First impressions are lasting impressions.

Be clear on where you will be going so you can dress appropriately.  You don’t want to be caught in faded, torn jeans when he walks you into some fancy restaurant, and vice-a-versa, you don’t want to be decked out in all your finery and he takes you to an outside carnival where you will be walking around in the grass in  your new high heel shoes.  

Discuss between you the things that you like and dislike.   You don’t want someone to take you out for Chinese food if you hate it and you know there’s not a thing on the menu that you will eat.   You wouldn’t want to go out to an expensive Seafood Resteraunt  if the food makes  you break out in hives.  If its a subject you had never discussed, then I guess, grin and bear it.  Make the best of it, but if you really like the other person, bring up the subject before you go out again.

Sometimes it is nice (if you really like the person), to bring the girl flowers.  Yes, flowers are the way to a girls heart, just as food is the way to a mans. (okay that was a joke).   Also, if you’re comfortable doing it, a bottle of wine might be nice to help the mood.   (I would definitely make sure each of you are on the same page in regards to drinking however.  You don’t want someone not seeing you again because they think you’re a lush)

Most importantly, relax!  Relax and enjoy each other’s company.  If there is something there, the mood will be light, the conversation flowing, and at the end of the night…… well, we will let you decide what is next….

A breakup usually does not mean a total end of a relationship. Sometimes, these breakups are premature, and that the other party would still not be emotionally ready to let go. That is why people find ways on how to get him back. There are a lot of ways of going back to one’s ex. Because people vary, it is important that one should adjust some ways so as it would fit the comfort of that person. Overall, these ways and tips are what most exes would generally prefer when someone wants to get back with them.

            When one wishes to find out on how to get him back, it is important that one knows ex thoroughly so as to know which particular approach to use. The first thing one has to know in approaching an ex is to know which words to say. It is also important that one knows the reason of the breakup. Why is “knowing the reason” important in how to get him back? This is because of the fact that when one knows the mistake, one will be able to correct that mistake through mutual understanding and hope that a mistake like that would never occur again. Also, it makes one realize whether or not the person is really worth fighting for. It is also important that one should also listen to what the ex has to say. The ex may talk about a lot of reasons one might have overlooked and ignored. Those reasons may be small to that person, but for the ex, it may be a bigger issue. Lastly, one should be the person that the ex-lover fell in love with during the initial stages of the relationship or during the courting stage. That is to remind the ex what one truly is.

            With all that is said and done, it is important to know whether knowing how to get him back will be all worth it. One should question whether or not breaking up with that person was right in the first place. Also, if the ex does not wish to come back, one should learn how to move on. The ex is not the only person existing in this world. Who knows? There might be other people who would treat one better than the ex, and would finally find their happy ever after. Those people might just even be right around the corner.

For the more simple divorces, theDivorce Hotel might be a good option that avoids the prolonged timing for finalizing the split — or for couples who don’t have a lot to sort out.

However, although you cannot just forget about him, by discarding him out of your thoughts and heart: moving on with your life is the best way to get him back.  Waiting around for your ex boyfriend to initiate contact with you, essentially keeps you from moving on with your life.

Chasing after your ex boyfriend by writing him love letters, emailing, and texting him incessantly is also counterproductive to getting back with your ex boyfriend.  More importantly, it makes you look desperate, which is definitely what you don’t want.

In closing, one that I know for certain is a man NEVER forgets a good woman.  Especially, a woman with whom he shared a deep bond.  So, if you still love your ex boyfriend and want to get back with him: don’t lose heart.  Remain hopeful.  Be positive. 

If this is truly the man for you, you will get him back.  Learn proven strategies that will teach you how to sustain your relationship after your ex boyfriend comes back to you.

1.       Remember who it is all about…

Men and women have very different ideas about romance. For a man, a romantic evening can be had wearing very little and ‘relaxing’ on a sofa at home, but for women it is all about the visual and sensual aspects of the evening. The goal throughout has to be to impress with small gestures that will go much further than expected. Even something as small as noticing that she is wearing the perfume that you bought for her at Christmas, will take you a great distance toward a successful night of romance.

2.       Surprise after surprise.

Despite the fact that your partner has undoubtedly told you what they want you to do on a romantic evening, success relies upon surprise. Surprises can come in many forms. Ordering a flower delivery to their workplace during the day or even taking them to a new unknown location for dinner can be enough to improve the evening endlessly. Remember that every unexpected gesture will move you pages through the good books! Sometimes it is excellent to make everything seem disappointing to start before blowing your date away, but be careful not to overdo this.

3.       Dress up.

Taking your girlfriend or partner out on a romantic date will be pointless if you do not look the part. Despite protestations that this is not true, every girl wants her prince and you need to look the part. Wearing a suit will do best but it is also important to mix it up. Your date will change outfits every time you go out and they will expect you to refresh your look too.

4.       Notice the difference.

There will certainly be differences in how your date appears when you take them out and it is up to you to notice. Make a point to look at their hair, dress, eyes and shoes. Commenting on at least two of these throughout the evening will tick enough boxes and show your date that you really notice them.

5.       Prolong.

Whether you are dropping your date home or taking them back with you, it is important to prolong the date where possible. Walks along a pier or through a park may seem cliché but cliché is still romantic. Make it clear that you enjoy your date’s company and don’t want to leave them.

6.       Keep it tidy.

If you are heading home with your date then it is important to make an effort at home too. Even if you share accommodation, tidying a bit and putting candles around the place will win you endless gratitude and make the end of the night spectacular! Ideally you will make an excuse to divert your date before lighting the candles, so that they are surprised with the beauty when they enter.

10. The Romantics (Niederhoffer, 2010)

This is a typical maid of honour/bride rivalry movie where a group of friends reunite for a wedding, only to find that both the maid of honour and the bride (obviously) are in love with the groom. This is a fairly shallow film that will keep you interested but never digs deep enough into the characters or hollow plot. It’s fairly enjoyable if you switch off almost completely, but in itself it’s nothing spectacular.

9. How Do You Know (Brooks, 2010)

The thing that attracted me to this film was the plot; Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd and of course, Jack Nicholson. Sounds perfect, right? Not really. Witherspoon’s character finds herself in the middle of a mid-life crisis and a love triangle in this baseball centered flick. As with the above film it’s enjoyable, but only on the surface, look too deep into it and it’s fatally flawed.

8. Sex And The City 2 (King, 2010)

I realise that critically this is probably a worse film than the last two, but I’m a huge fan of the show and therefore had to score it higher than it deserved. This film is just like a longer episode of the series where the girls go on holiday to Abu Dhabi. It’s not quite as funny as the first film or the series and definitely wouldn’t be at all enjoyable to anyone who didn’t know the characters well. This is a “you had to be there” kind of film.

7. The Backup Plan (Poul, 2010)

Jennifer Lopez stars in this fluffy romcom about a woman who has twins through artificial insemination while meeting the love of her life on the same day. I think Jennifer Lopez’ spectacular screen presence saves this film from being too dull, even though the idea for the film is sort of sweet and hasn’t really been done to this extent. It’s probably more enjoyable than those above simply for the romantic “soul mate” element within.

6. The Switch (Gordon & Speck, 2010)

Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman star in this film about a man who realises that he was in fact the sperm donor for his best friends son. He realises seven years after the birth and the film follows Aniston and Bateman as they struggle through their friendship after realising they have a son together, all the while falling in love. It’s a nice concept for a movie that hasn’t been overdone like every other concept in romcoms these days, but the execution of it is less than perfect. Not a fantastic movie but still great for a girly night in.

5. Leap Year (Tucker, 2010)

The ever delightful Amy Adams decides to travel to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend on a leap year because, apparently, Irish tradition states that a man must accept any proposal on this one day of a leap year. This film is almost the opposite to The Switch in that the concept is not great but the execution of it is. Amy Adams is, I feel, the new Meg Ryan. She is perfect in romantic and comedy roles and a delight to watch on the screen. For that reason, this is a great film to snuggle up to.

4. Going The Distance (Burstein, 2010)

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are in a long distance relationship in this romantic comedy centered around the distances people will go to for love. The couple travel between New York and San Francisco to see one another and the relationship starts to split at the seams. Again, this is an obvious and sort of predictable romcom, but it doesn’t make it any less enjoyable. Barrymore and Long work perfectly together and it’s almost the perfect girly film.

3. Letters to Juliet (Winick, 2010)

Sophie (Seyfried) travels to Verona in Italy on her journey to becoming a writer. There she finds a letter someone had written to the fictional character and left at her apparent courtyard (as is tourists’ tradition) and she goes on the search to find the letter’s author. Amanda Seyfried is a wonderful actress and a delight to watch in this, it’s a great concept with almost perfect execution and direction by Winick. This is a great film to watch with girlfriends for a nice girly night in.

2. She’s Out Of My League (Smith, 2010)

This was a surprisingly good film which came out of nowhere. Starring Jay Baruchel and Alice Eve (neither of whom have been the lead of a successful film) this film is about an average Joe who falls for who he believes to be his perfect girl. Trouble arises when his self confidence gets in the way of the relationship and he must go on a journey to improve his confidence for the relationship. This is a very enjoyable movie with a lot of laughs. Baruchel and Eve are both perfect in their chemistry and comedy timing.

1. Life As We Know It (Berlanti, 2010)

When two single adults, Holly (Heigl) and Eric (Duhamel), are sent on a blind date by their mutual and married friends, they find they hate each other and decide never to date again, however when their mutual friends have a baby, they find they have to be around each other more and more often. One day, the baby’s parents die in a car crash and it is written in the will that the couple’s two best friends, Holly and Eric, to care for the orphaned child. This is the perfect blend of drama, sorrow and comedy. It’s unusal that a film can be so tragic yet in places so funny and heartwarming.

So, as you can see the selection of romantic comedies for 2010 was not perfect, but there are still some gems in there – some which could even make it into the top 20 for the decade!

The law on separation and dissolution is contained in the Family Proceedings Act 1980, which comes under the justice system of NZ. It is also important to understand that the law DOES NOT apply to people in in effect relationships, but only to people who are legally married or in a civil union.

Introduction To The Family Court
The Family Court of NZ deals with family matters including:

• Protection Orders
• Protection of children who are abused
• Separation and divorce
• Relationship property
• Child Abduction (Hague Convention)

The Family Court tries to help people solve disputes about leaving or staying in a relationship, custody, access and property, without having a Court hearing.

Separation or Divorce
In legal terms, a separation in a relationship does not mean that your marriage or civil union has ended. It simply means that you and your partner, recognised as a legal couple by the law, have agreed to live apart. If this is what you have both agreed to do and if you have decided on settling your affairs under this arrangement, then you can make a separation agreement or apply to the Family Court for a separation order.

For divorce or dissolution of a marriage or civil union, you will need to prove to the Court that the relationship has broken down irrevocably. This is the only ground for legally dissolving a marriage or civil union. Neither you nor your partner will be blamed for the end of the relationship. In order to prove to the Court that your relationship has ended and needs to be dissolved, you and your partner must live apart for two years, otherwise you will not be able to get the Court to rule on the divorce.

In both situations, you will need to formally sign a written agreement that should include the details of the divorce or separation, as the case may be, and all details with regards to the division of assets, custody of or connection with children, and other matters of the estate.
 
Divorce and Separation Agreements
A separation agreement is a document that records your separation and the date of your separation. It further covers issues in the separation including the day-to-day care of and contact with children (custody and access), as well as the division of your property and assets, if you have entered into a property agreement. This is a very useful approach to separation and the division of estate in order to help avoid future misunderstandings and disputes.

In order to get a dissolution of marriage ruling, you do not need to draft an agreement. The only thing required would be an affidavit, and it is required in case you and your partner do not want to appear in Court. The affidavit is drawn up by one partner and then served to another, who will then need to respond within 21 days.

What Should The Separation Agreement, Divorce Affidavits Includes?
Apart from providing the basic agreement and terms for couples to live apart or divorce, the written agreements must carefully cover important severance or divorce settlement details, including:

• maintenance of one spouse or partner by the other
• day-to-day care of children of the relationship
• custody agreement of the children
• expenses and financial arrangements
• home occupancy and its terms
• division of relationship property

Large scale severance settlements tend to be complex, therefore, in order to minimise any adverse post-separation or post-divorce influence on the families and children involved, the terms of the agreement should be carefully drafted and be specific to your particular situation.
