Did Chris & Lorelai do a pre-nup, if not how much in the real world would she be entitled to and would Lorelai take any?

Lancer, love your DVD scene

Sandlynn, I hadn't thought about it but you may be right: RL may be way more conventional than the 40ish Steve & Elyse. Certainly they are more adaptive--or more willing to adapt

I don't think we know the answer to that question Craig; but I rather doubt it, they probably didn't. I would think that without it, Lorelai is entitled to half of her husband's total assets. I rather doubt Lorelai would take any money for her or Rory, given her prior positions in regards to money, and because Rory doesn't really need it, given that her relationship with Logan appears to be long term, regardless of whether they marry now or not, and given the fact that her trust fund kicks in when she reaches the age of 25.

She'd be entitled to 1/2 of his earnings FROM THE TIME THEY WERE MARRIED TO SEPERATION. And, he'd be entitled to 1/2 of her earnings for that period.

Wealth he inherited prior to the marriage is NOT community property. She would be entitled 1/2 the interest income for the 3-4 months of marriage.

and now what she has done so far this season proves she has not learn't yet and will continue to screw up. Maybe the break up with Chris will be seen more as her realizing finally what she wants more than another screw up. But I can bet the Emily is not gonna see it that way!

on that i agree. what i meant in my post is that she didn't run away from luke, that's difference from her relationship with max, or even jason (we all kow how freaked out she looked when he gave her a key of his apartment). she didn't love them. she wanted for luke to be a part of her life, every part. with max she didn't even want to make more room for his stuff in her closet, and couldn't sleep with him in her own bed.

Which could still amount to a small fortune, maybe she puts it in a trust fund is she takes it, maybe for Rory?

I know the laws are different in different states, and some the "half of everything" kicks in after 10 years married. but since they break up after a a couple of months It's not an issue. But since they eloped in France would that make a difference?

Well I think she did run from Luke when she couldn't get her way but her heart is still with him or will be soon. I would love another shrink session after the divorce to here where she stands now, or maybe this time she talks to Emily or god forbid Luke.

This is where my SPEC about her opening up to Luke (or Emily) at the hospital and relating it to her father might work and if they broke up at the end of ep 12 but it's not official until 13 we could have her breaking down to someone that it's over.

They worked rather well from NAIL until TPDR. The April situation hit them hard and they each individually had no idea how to deal with it. That shows that they have issues with communication and changes. Not that they can't be married to eachother in a good healthy relationship one day. They need to overcome those things that hold them back, but imo, not being the "marrying type" or whatever isn't holding them back, it's all the issues that got in the way earlier that they'll have to address and work on later.

The usual conventions? Stealing a yacht, dropping out for a term, jumping off a cliff, jumping off an eight-story structure built by a physics whiz who did the test run on potatoes?

Somehow I wanted more for Rory, and for Logan, than the "usual conventions".

(Besides, they'll have gazillions of dollars and a media empire to worry about and children to inherit it.)

A media empire or a flashy Internet venture? This storyline is also becoming befuddled.

Quote:

As a matter of fact, I am in total sync with L&L on this issue. Their financial situation is minor in comparison. They can work it out without the marriage license.

Are you saying R/L only need a marriage licence because of Logan's inheritance? If it weren't for the Huntzberger fortune then they, too, could enjoy the Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell route.

Since CT is an "Equitable Distribution" state (equitable meaning not equal but fair) I doubt a judge would grant Lorelai half of Chris' assests, considering the length and circumstances of their marriage. But who knows with this show.

Sandlynn, I don't get the obsession with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. Like, who cares? I doubt the showrunners or writers are using them as the model for L/L and considering L/L are not in show business, I don't think the audience is supposed to either.

The charm of Luke and Lorelai is that they are ordinary people.

Good point Katie. 6.-1-6.10 they co-existed in a very conventional married state, cept for that "piece of paper". They acted more old fashioned, domesticated married than anyone on the show, with their home renovating, taking care of the dog, having dinner guests. It was nice while it lasted. And proved that they DO like being that way and they CAN function as a married couple. In the traditional sense.

Hey everyone I did a WB tour today. I didn't find out much spoiler-wise since they weren't filming but Lorelai's 2 Jeeps were still looking good as new, so I don't think it's the Jeep that dies. Also, the guide said that they were filming a scene at the Gilmore Mansion right before Christmas. We got to go in that soundstage and there were tape marks on the floor for four people right by the door to the mansion.

I'm on vacation in Cali now but I can post more details and pictures when I get home if people want. Oh yeah, Luke's boat was still filled with junk in Lorelai's garage.

**Katiegg108** · 12-27-2006, 06:59 PM

JumpinJulie04, thanks for the info.

filming in the Gilmore Mansion before x-mas? Could there be a post-hospital scene there? Or would that have been in ep. 12?

Yes. Absolutely. And, the distribution to the children. In fact, I might agree that Lorelai and Luke should be married ONLY for the sake of any children, but they're getting older so that might not be an issue.

I am totally not into getting married unless you absolutely have to.

TheJSW · 12-27-2006, 07:04 PM

So Logan and Rory are not ordinary people, Bella? There you go...AGAIN! For someone who likes these two together. You sure have thrown them under the bus with the quickness today. My goodness. My goodness I told you.

Peachy, you need to watch the Hunt for Red October. In the Hunt for Red October, the engineer of the Red October, always says "DAMN IT" after he says something. Thus the reasons I use it in my posts as a bit of business. However, I agree with psunny. It was a BIG **** YOU to Lorelai because LORELAI MADE IT ALL ABOUT HER. If Rory went to Chris, to Luke, to Sookie, to Mrs. Kim, to Babette, to Miss Patty, or to Logan instead of Stache and Pearls. Lorelai would not have taken it as a big offense. Rory went to her father figure and her grand mother, and Lorelai took it as an offense because of WHO SENT WENT TOO. That's the way it was written.

Finally, Katie, please point out to me how functional Lorelai and Luke were from NAIL to TPDR. You are not the only JJ to make this argument. Yet, I am at a lost, as to how what you stated happened, happened. Since all I saw was a dysfunctional couple from the go get. They sucked as a couple from the second-half of season five. Thus the reason I want to see these two get back together. So I can see these two not be a couple of *******s, and finally be in love. WITHOUT FEAR CREEPING IN ever ****ing five minutes. ETA: On a pure story level, Luke and Lorelai would have to get married at some point. The reason being; it's their greatest fear. It's their jedi trial with Vader in the cave. This is their leap. If they do not leap. They better **** or get off the damn pot.

Cool and thanks,

...with the Jeep, the engine could die and the rest of the car would still look okay. But maybe the death is a person.

...with the non pre-nup wouldn't it depend on where they got marriage or is it more on where they are living? I doubt Lorelai would take any anyway.

...Rory and Logan, wouldn't he (and the family money) be more protected if they are not married?

...I like it that Luke is average and for most of Lorelai's life she has been living that life.

caf123 · 12-27-2006, 07:06 PM

Thanks, JumpinJulie04. Looking forward to your pictures.

Who would have been in the post-hospital scene? I understood they filmed through 7.13 before x-mas, so presumably Richard is still in hospital.

JumpinJulie04, do you happen to know if the mansion scene was from 7.12 or 7.13?
