I also recommend doing some minimal background checking and running a credit report on a prospective spouse. Again, not so romantic, but it would prevent a great deal of heartbreak. I can't see any benefit to marrying someone you actually know very little about and just crossing your fingers and hoping.

News flash, ladies: men lie. And visa versa, guys. Is there really any good reason to not take a few minutes to understand what you are getting into?


I never said anyone should jump in with their eyes closed... but what I am saying is, if you are at the point of considering marriage and you are wondering what they are up to... I think the answer is blatantly clear... period.

Yes!! absolutely, the ex wife can come after you, ask any family lawyer.

My in-laws were actually discussing this the other day. From what I understand it is pretty simple... The kids come first. If they have to go to the new wife or the grand parents of the non-custodial parent to get the payments as required they will... And there is sweet nothing you can do to stop it.

I don't have a bank account in Chile and probably won't open one. All money is in The States. Could his ex-wife still successfully go after me for child support if he's unable to make the payments? Thanks

I've been reading this thread with interest, however not responding as I do not have a clue as to the legal aspects of marriage in Chile. I do now feel that I want to add my 2 cents:

1. The very start of this post is very ambiguous with no detail at all. If you have a very specific question, which you obviously do and a 22 post thread is finally drawing it out, then ask it! You are (obviously now) concerned about the ex-wife getting access to your money which is based in the states if you marry him, and are unsure if this is the case. If you want to get the answers you want on any forum, be direct and ask outright, having to fight and scrape for what you are really looking to know will possibly make it feel like an effort to help, rather than a pleasure.

2. With all the best will in the world everyone here will help, but I agree with the following statement completely
