Thread: A question about Russian dating practices and "going dutch"

Once they turn 18 they right away lose their attractiveness, right?

Well there is only a minority of women who becomes better with age.

Besides, it's illegal to have any sort of sexual intercourse with ppl under 18.

In the USA - may be. In Russia pro-US activists also want to rise age of consent so it to be like in the US.

Two words man - marital agreement.

I do not know how it is in the US but here you cannot negotiate anything in marital agreement.
You cannot negotiate that the kid will remain with you, you cannot negotiate your right to meet with him, you cannot negotiate alimony, you cannot negotiate abortion rights,
you cannot evict your former wife from your home if there are children, you cannot negotiate the usage of the state financial bonus for childbirth (only the woman can use it as she wishes).

As far as I know, Family Code (Семейный кодекс) provides for arrangement of everything that concerns property before marriage (this would be a marital agreement, so in theory it is possible to decide how property would be divided in case of divorce even before marriage), but I don't remember what it says about children.
