i wouldnt touch a prenup, but i would protect my assets. there are ways to do just that using trusts and other instruments that people think are only for the rich. a good financial adviser can really help there. and if the other person is wanting the prenup, same thing, let them get with a good financial adviser to set up ways to protect their assets, and then just deal with the marital assets after you get married.
If you were going to get married to a someone who was been working very hard all their life, and wants to protect their assets by asking you to sign a prenuptual agreement, would you sign it? Would you be offended? Would this be a deal breaker? If your S/O wanted you to sign one, would you call of a marriage because he/she has trust issues? Just curious on your thoughts.
Considering I wouldn't get married without one, I would absolutely sign my SO's prenuptial agreement.
We didn't have a pre-nup because there was no need for one when we got married. We both had nothing.
My husband and I share everything and always have. There is no "mine" and "his". Everything is joint.
At this stage of my life, if something were to happen and I was no longer married, I wouldn't be looking to mingle my house or finances with someone else so I guess there would still be no need for a prenup.
However, I wouldn't sign one if someone asked. If they felt they need a prenup, then they really don't know me and I'm not the right person for them.
Yes
Would I back peddle if they threw a fit at the idea?
Ubetcha
For the 42 million divorced since "no fault" -- let me say this
When --not if --she gets tired of u ---with prenup-- u get to keep your stuff
I think stage of life is a big consideration here.
Stage of life is very important. An ex spouse can get half of one's retirement savings in a divorce. I would stipulate something in the pre-nup about that.
I think it's important to have complete transparency with each other before marriage and be in agreement on all financial matters, such as managing inheritances, and division of properties, assets, and liabilities should the marriage end due to death or divorce.
But I don't really understand what a pre-nup accomplishes that a will, living trust, and the state laws don't already have spelled out pretty thoroughly and fairly. A pre-nup can't violate sate law anyway, so I'm not sure what they accomplish?
Edited to ad: My husband and I both have children from previous marriages. We both own businesses, and properties. We both have inheritances. He did, in fact, ask me to sign a pre-nup and I told him to put something together and I would look it over with my attorney. He never mentioned it again so we were married without one.
She didn't get nothing at all. And also you're telling me that after the lawyer presented her with the prenup, she backed out of the wedding to only recommitted to him a week later?
prenup is like a cross. if the person suddenly jumps up on the dresser and starts hissing at the prenup, this indicates what you are dealing with.
LOL. Good one, Huck
