1) I read pre-nuptial agreement will be taken into consideration in case of divorce.
2) I read matrimonial assets does not apply to what I have before ROM. True or False?
3) If #2 is true, shouldn't I beef up my finance and etc before getting married?
This way when it comes to calculation of matrimonial assets, I will set a high bar?
4) If I wish to married someone but at the same time want to protect my assets, what can I do?
5) Don't mind paying child maintenance, but just don't want to lose money to alimony and current+future assets.

I summaries all your concerns into layman terms.
Once you are married to her, everything you own is shared with her but everything she owns belongs solely to her. With the revamp of the Family Court recently the situation has gotten even worse for the guys. Now you can't even fight it out in court with a good lawyer as the case will be reviewed and analysed by a panel of "experts" which unfortunately comprises mainly of pro - WC legal eagles and members of AWaRE. By the time your case reaches the court, the outcome would have already been decided and the case is in the court to be rubber stamped only.
Please don't believe all that bullshit about pre-nup agreements, it is only propaganda and BIG pile of bullshit!
