Get a Prenuptial Agreement before Your Next MarriageWritten by Jeffrey Broobin
While signing a prenuptial agreement can be one of all-time romantic turnoffs, for people heading into their second marriage, a prenuptial agreement can give trade-off of a better relationship through security of financial and life planning.A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract between two people about to marry, specifying how assets will be distributed in event of divorce or death. A prenuptial agreement is a good idea, even if you aren’t rich or own a home. It saves future arguments and can even save you money. A prenuptial agreement requires that each partner prepare an inventory of assets owned before marriage, and it allows you to establish your separate priorities about those assets. Even if you do nothing more than that in your prenuptial agreement, this gives children from a previous marriage a chance to have half of that property and establish what belonged to Mom or Dad before second marriage, and it establishes what you're taking with you should you leave marriage." Statistically, second or third marriages are more likely to result in divorce than first-time unions. Because of this, a prenuptial agreement is an especially wise idea. •A prenup is important if one of you is wealthier than other. •If you have assets such as a house, stock or retirement funds, you should have a prenup. •A prenuptial agreement is essential if you own part or all of a business. •A prenup can discuss your wishes if you may be receiving an inheritance. •If you have relatives who need to be taken care of, such as disabled children or elderly parents, a prenuptial agreement is very important. •If you expect to receive a big increase in income because of a growing business, a prenuptial agreement can address this issue. •A prenuptial agreement is essential if you have children and/or grandchildren from a previous marriage.

Australia’s wine industry has boomed in past ten years. Employers have had to triple their staff numbers to cope with demand for Aussie wine. Considering lower average national population of Australia, compared to say United States or even South Africa, 30,000 (2001) workers is pretty high.One of main reasons for demand on this skillful industry is that it has won an international reputation for quality and value. Australian wines have won many highly sought after international awards and labels and many innovative Australian winemakers are sought internationally for their wine making expertise. Wine regions throughout Australia have continually had high ratings especially over past four years. Most of these regions and especially East and South coasts (New South Wales and Victoria) are averaging 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. Second to brilliant winemakers, and a close second, is great climates / weather that certain regions have for cultivating vines.
