I have images of that new Sprint Commercial. What if Loggers ran the world?

Part of my says just count the ones that are physically with you, however, what about those times when the kids come over and bring some of the discs from "moms" and they leave them with you?

Why not just make a tag for the discs that are now "property" of your ex?

Just yet another reason to be happy to be single!  (Or, in other words, mine, mine, mine, MINE!)

If I ever decided to go out with someone, and then things ever became serious enough to consider marriage, I think I'd have to insist on a pre-nup to protect my collection!

Actually, make that collections!  He'd not be getting my CDs, my books, or my comics either!

Every state is different. In California, a community property state, anything acquired during the marriage is owned equally by the partners. This does not mean everything gets split in half at the end of the union, just that if one person takes all the DVDs acquired during the marriage, the other receives something(s) of equal value to the DVDs. In most cases, property owned prior to the marriage remains independent of any community property. So, the LPs I had before Oct. 10, 1969 remained mine and were not part of community property. Only the stuff we got while we were married was to be divided equally. In addition, if one member of the marriage earns more than the other, the one who earns less is able to continue to live in a lifestyle to which the one has become accustomed (alimony). So I got my old albums, most of the new ones, my entire (acquired during the marriage) comic book collection (I was teaching a university class on comic books), and bedroom furniture... she got a few LPs, the stereo, the living room furniture, all the kitchen stuff, the piano, all the kids' stuff (even though I had joint custody) and cash to make the settlement equal in both our opinions and in the eyes of the court.

Been there, done that.
Just recently finally took off nearly 500 dvds from my collection that I had tagged, but hadn't had the actual dvds for some years as ex kept them. Leaving them was difficult, removing them from my dvdprofiler collection even harder 

**please note sarcasm intended, I'd have left them all to get outta that marriage  hehehe

I went through this about 2 years ago. My collection was much smaller then; probably around 600 or so. I told her to go through and pick out what she wanted. She took the majority of the kid's movies, her romances and stuff that I didn't care for and a few others. After she did that, I went through her selections and reclaimed what I didn't want her to take when she wasn't around.  In the end, we worked it out peacefully (her still not knowing about the ones I took back) and I still ended up with about 85% of the collection.

At the time I was using DVD Spot for my online collection. I didn't really have a formal database for my local collection, but rather had a Word file with all the DVDs. It was really hard removing those movies from my lists.

There were still some that she got that I wanted, but let them go. I have kept them in my collection, but tagged as being lost in the separation so I know to replace them someday. I've been slowly re-purchasing them. I only have about 15 or 20 more that I need to replace.
