Getting married (just to) to save money

Oct 14, 2006 24 Replies

I am friends with a hot Latvian chick in London (she works in Subway sandwiches shop in SW3)



We've fooled around a couple of times - for fun, nothing more



What if I was to get married to her?


Could I save money on tax? (i.e. pay less tax)



I'd make her sign a prenup - so she could never touch my money/assetts & vica versa


She would benefit from getting UK citizenship, I would pay less tax (bigger tax allowance)


Everyone's a winner!


ps - she is very hot. She works hard & pays council tax & income tax (I don't pay council tax - I don't think it's worth it)


And what if I had babies - would i save even more money on tax?


also - is this technically fraud?



OTTOMH Only if you are both over eighty!

Might not have any value in the courts.

Not so simple for the first. See above for the second.

Ignoring the point about you having babies as the man... (though if single girls are allowed treatment on the NHS to get pregnant without a man, it would be discrimination if the converse was not also true ;-)) Might get some paid back in Child Tax Credits if you want to wrestle with the forms. But you would have added expenses.

I imagine the Home Office would see it as such.

That wouldn't be legally binding.

That's too much information and too close. Does she date men in their forties? :-)

Far too much information, unless there's several branches and several Latvians working there in SW3!

Where is SW3 anyway? Chelsea and Knightsbridge area? She's probably already dating a footballer or something, if she's that hot.

You'd better hope that she doesn't have access to the web - because she might be reluctant to marry a soon to be jobless homophobe with mental problems.

Anything else you want to confess to before you hear the knock at the door and get to use more services you haven't paid for?

And you get to f*ck her without feeling guilty :-)

she is properly beautiful

blonde hair, deep piercing blue eyes, very sweet

natural beauty. not some bottle bleached blonde ho (even though I'd happily bone of those - so no dispresect to all the hos out there)

she actually thinks she needs implants! (that's crazy talk)

if all asylum seekers looked like her, I don't think there'd be such an outcry here

(her english can do with a little work, but it will improve over time)

also, london is massive

SW3 alone is massive

Subway is about as prolific as Starbucks

Pre-nuptial agreements have no legal standing in English courts. They are not 'illegal', just not enforeable. However, they may be enforcable in Latvia, so you could get a pre-nup enforced there. Under EU regulations, judgements in an another EU court must be enforced in the UK without exequator or re-litigation.

Can't see what benefit getting UK citizinship would bring her - ask any sane Brit these days and most of us want to get off this island.

Any tax benefit would be minimal, and if she ever ends up earning more than you, she could choose to have the twindling married couples allowance and therefore, you'd lose any (small) benefit.

She's obviously far more astute and law abiding than you if you think that not paying Council Tax is big and clever.

Babies - heaven forbid, but I guess you'll expect her to stay at home and look after them, so you can still go out and enjoy yourself bedding more Latvians.

Fraud? She's from Latvia, which is now part of the EU, so I thought she has a right to stay, live and work in the UK anyway. I may be wrong.

NO - as soon as he gets married it stops.

Since when are they asylum seekers? Latvia has been in EU for 2 years.

Your financial ideas are all mixed up.

Concentrate on the physical and make the most of it.

This sounds like the most expensive thing you will ever do ...... good luck.

(note for uk.finance and uk.legal)

Please do not feed the troll.

[snip it all]

Could you boys&girls from uk.finance and uk.legal please, please, please, PLEASE remove uk.comp.sys.mac from any replies? The OP is a troll who's trying to flood the newsgroup. Try not to help him. Thank you.

Those who doubt that he's a troll may Google for 'Chris Holland' and 'uk.comp.sys.mac'. Mr Holland appears to have a thing for gays, blacks, gays, Pakistanis, gays, women, gays, Jews, gays, 'foreigners' (very loosely defined) and did I mention gays? You might want to think carefully before being linked with him. Especially if you're a female gay black Pakistani Jew posting from outside the UK.

I think he's just had his first sex and had to tell someone about it. ;-)

She'd probably let you fool around some more, then after a while it all stops. :/

Then you'd be able to keep saying "We've fooled around a couple of times" for many decades to come.

Ladies and gents please ignore "J.J. O'Shea". He's an anti-troll, troll. He trolls uk.comp.sys.mac by claiming innocent posters are trolls.

Please don't feed him.
