Facts: We have combined our homes and have agreed that what we have together is ours, not his, not hers. We own a beagle, Barney, that we are thinking about breeding in the future. Mark saw her and insisted we get her. He and Barney are inseparable. Marie's family helped contribute to the startup of Pet Park in the amount of $500,000. Mark saved the company a lot of money by being its initial private pilot and has a lofty 401K with the current value set at about $825,000. We want something that will protect his 401K and also the monies earned after we get married, plus any interest on investments, which we both agree should be Marie's since the company was her initial idea. Finally, we have a son, John, born on January 1, 2018, and we will need to address this as we both seek sole custody. Let us know if you need any additional information.
