I met a woman from St. Petersburg 18 months ago over the internet. We corresponded by email and Skype for six months, then she flew over to meet me at her own cost to Australia twice. We also met in Hong Kong for one week where we discussed getting married and have me sponsor her on an Australian fiancé visa, whereby I would deposit $10K bond with the government as ‘Assurance of Support’ which would to reimburse the government should she use any social security benefits such as unemployment, medical care etc.. within a two year period. Should any further funds be required after the $10K within this two year period the government will demand reimbursement from me as sponsor. She has assets in St. Petersburg and I have my own home freehold; however she wants to keep her assets in Russia to support her parents. I am not sure if a prenuptial agreement would protect my assets and need to find out. Does anyone know? My friends tell me I am too trusting and therefore vulnerable and have to be careful as some women accuse their fiancé of abuse and get ‘restraining order’ and are allow them to remain in Australia and obtain citizenship. I am travelling to St. Petersburg to stay with her for a month which will help in determining our future together. Any suggestions? Wish me luck

the assets you have before your marriage are yours. she can not take them. at least if your laws are similar to usa. if your really concerned about this, you should see an immigration lawyer and get the worst case scenario. opinions from this board are just going to leave you confused. she can claim abuse. and then you are pretty much screwed. but you knew that going in. so select a woman you can trust. i married a girl from belarus. i knew before she got her green card that it wasn't going to work out. but i didn't threaten to deport her. I was a gentleman. i told her we would wait for the green card and then get the divorce. If i acted differently, maybe the outcome would be different. my question is, do you really love her? what is her lifestyle now? can you offer her the same lifestyle or better in your country? it sounds like she is living pretty good.

Get legal advice. Do you intend having children? Australian law at least recently had you keeping whatever you had prior to partnership and 50/50 afterwards. However after a few years this gets blurry and if there are kids you get screwed whether it is foreign or local wife. All my assets are in a trust which makes it more difficult for her to touch but again check with a lawyer if you are worried. She should too. A St Petersburg apartment would be a reasonable asset and capable of providing her with income when she is not there.

Your friends are saying this because she is Russian !!! Its common for this negative thoughts towards Russians - its from years of media propaganda. What’s the difference if she is from SPB or Alice Springs - nothing. Do as GD says - take legal steps to protect ALL you built b4 your union Good luck - you will love SPB - its beautiful in summer - have a great time

Let me correct that. You can commingle, but then upon divorce, you would have to unravel what was spent with community funds and what was not.
