Newb with a few questions regarding marriage & buying a car in DR
- Status
I should have mentioned she is coming to the states to stay with me. I want to buy a car here to allow her to learn to drive a bit more plus save me on rental costs ($30 day Kia LP gas).
This is why the prenup should have mentioned that. So prenup is valid with her living in states.
I should have mentioned a bit more but is there any harm getting married in DR, waiting the year for her to come over, then she comes over? Again she take take any money from me w/ prenup in states.
I fully understand the flaming of this subject as I have read a ton, talked to a few local gringos, & just trying to make a good decision. I love this chick I know everyone does yadada but I like to hear all bad you know?
Thx everyone for the replies they are much appreciated! I'm in Santiago now if anyone wants to grab a drink.
Haha all good my fault for not mentioning a bit more. Looking around closer $4-5k seems good for a decent car w/ expectation to sell once she comes here.
I can say to each member never underestimate how much your fellow American makes I'm not a slouch in regards to this. But what I do appreciate are reply(s) about good & bad always nice to see what other have been through.
if you want to marry her and live with her in the states it's better to inquire about a prenup in USA to protect your assets there.
not much of a car can be bought for 2,500 dollars, you can check this site for examples: http://www.corotos.com.do/santiago/carros_jeepetas_y_camionetas-en_venta?pe=129999

Men choose women hoping that they will stay the same. This, of course, never happens, because everyone gets older.
My observation over the years has been that bringing a Latina woman to the US will change her in ways that tend to cause her to become a status-conscious, moneygrubbing, and very frustrated person, a woman that has all the traits that can make American women unbearable.
I am not saying that American women are all unbearable, but when they are unbearable, their unpleasantness tends to take a particular form
She will be overwhelmed by American consumer culture, and might believe in all those informercials that plague Spanish-language TV in the US: astrologers, fat burning pills and girdles, thighmasters, miracle diets and thisese and thats,televangelists and such make easy prey of newcomers from Latin America, whi lack the language skills to participate in the majority culture of the US, where people have a build up immunity to this sort of crap.
The lilies that are so beautiful in the fields where they grew up will not fare well in a vase in a totally different climate.
