Looking for advice

Tezza71

Ok Gents. I need to find a reliable, trustworthy and dare I say it, honest lawyer in order to organise a pre-nup. I've read so many rather negative posts regarding lawyers on Bali that I'd rather get a recommendation from someone who has used a lawyer/notary for organising a pre-nup. Frankly I'm not even sure how such a thing should be worded so would appreciate any advise in that regard too.

From what I've heard the basis of a pre-nuptial agreement in Indonesia is fairly basic and probably wouldn't require the hiring of a lawyer. It's just an agreement between you and your future wife about who gets what in the event it goes apart. Of main concern is any property YOU BUY and how you are going to sell it within the year after your divorce and that she has no prior claim. I'm sure there a people that have a template you can use or google it. Best is don't buy the cow if the milk is free...

I may have mentioned before my wife is a lawyer here. I can assure you she is honest, but her rates aren't the cheapest. I would not use a template that the notary provides. I have known foreigners get a pre-nup from a notary, they thought they were protected, but they had no idea what was actually in the actual pre-nup. One thing that has been booming during Covid has been divorce (all mixed marriages) and my wife has been doing quite a few lately, so she knows how to protect your assets. Notaries make the final legal document so many people just go to notaries directly, but they don't they have different knowledge/experience to what a lawyer can help you with.

Guys, just moved into my new house and realise that the bathroom door is getting wet from the shower. Now I saw a waterproof sealant in the form of a brush on paint type material advertised but I can't find any trace of it at either Mitre 10 or Ace. Can somebody give me a suggestion on how to seal the damn door. it's already been painted but I'm not sure what was used. I am sure that it won't stop water from soaking into the door.

Install a shower curtain?

so I need a shower curtain that can be easily installed. In the past in another life I used an expanding rod that was held between the two walls with a rubber cup at either end. Is such a thing available in Bali and if so where from. Sorry to ask such seemingly obvious questions but I haven't been in Bali long enough to get the lay of the land yet.

Never have to ask a where/how or why question - the answer is always either Tokopedia or "drink more beer" https://www.tokopedia.com/search?q=curtain+rod&source=universe&st=product&navsource=home&srp_component_id=02.02.01.01 Grab a beer and read.

Just search for "Toko cat" on Google maps and go to the closet one. They will have a wide selection of waterproof paints for you to choose from. Or as others have suggested, the shower curtain trick works well too :)

And then throw the bottle back into the ocean because those waves are full of trash anyway! Just joking of course, always pick up your litter kiddos :)
