Often, they have accumulated &quot;their stuff&quot; partly through the efforts of their (former) partner, for example where they have been working and their partner has been looking after the home and bringing up the children.John Bolchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16676004014279763939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21147733.post-52154834509966763132009-10-30T19:38:17.511Z2009-10-30T19:38:17.511ZLike that David. Agree with too.<br /><br />Have already heard it elsewhere suggested by women to try to get partner to kill himself rather than divorce as widows are socially better regarded and financially better off than divorcees also.<br /><br />Looks like we&#39;re heading for a society of eunuchs. Being sexual and having a partner is risky to your life.<br /><br />More work for lawyers here though (suprise suprise), making wills, since people are voting with their feet on marriage and the co-habiting bits have to find the money elsewhere like in wills and prenups I suppose. No big deal I suppose. I will advise my children to stear clear of the 1973 mca and csa whatever else happens.Cptn Cavemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21147733.post-60296252976381781892009-10-30T19:15:00.398Z2009-10-30T19:15:00.398ZLooks consistent to me. If someone leaves you, then they presumably don&#39;t want you to have their stuff. If, on the other hand, they&#39;re still living with you when they die, it&#39;s not unreasonable to suppose that they do.David Cantrellhttp://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/journal/noreply@blogger.com
