Hi all,
My partner and I are thinking about getting married soon. I have a history of depression, as well as self-harming and suicide intent. I now believe my condition is a lot better than before and I am ready to get into marriage with my partner. My partner is also willing to take the risk and give the marriage a go.
However, we both think it would be better if she could have a peace of mind. We agree that after we get married, if my condition gets much worse and I start to self-harm or be suicidal again, my partner would have the right to get a divorce without other grounds. If the reason of divorce is caused by my self-harming or my suicide intent, my partner would have the right to have 50%-70% of the assets that we acquire after the marriage, regardless of the contribution.
I assume this is not quite like a binding financial agreement, as this is not about bringing our current properties (we barely have any at the moment) into the marriage and how to divide them after the breakdown of the relationship. I am wondering whether there is a way to make this agreement legal binding, or at least be the evidence that could be presented to the court and would have certain effects on the decision made by the court.
Thank you very much indeed. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Felix
