under only one of the spouses? But if you are not legally married, you

cannot lay claim to anything when parting.

Ask questions. You have the right to know about

like to achieve in life, etc.

Prenuptial agreements. This should be done before

marriage. But if you didn’t arrange matters of finance before,

a financial marriage treaty can be signed at any moment.

Don’t hand all money matters over your husband. You

you husband falls ill or goes away on business and you have to urgently

settle the problems), you will find yourself absolutely helpless.

Make up a family budget. Of course you shouldn’t

record every chocolate bar you bought your child on your way back from

work, but larger purchases should be taken into account and planned.
