Mary3 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Only 3 % of couples contemplating marriage have a pre-nup. Most say protecting family money was the biggest reason. Money in the family should stay in the family... USA Today. Link to post Share on other sites
TheLoneSock Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I can see it both ways, but if I were getting married and he asked for one I think I'd be upset anyway. The idea of him thinking it necessary to protect his assets would make me feel he's uncertain about our future. But I do see people taken to the cleaners when going through divorce. I dunno. Your thoughts? Mandatory, as far as I'm concerned. I will most certainly get one when my time comes to hitch up. Even if she's rich, because it's a matter of principal to me.

mem11363 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 There are prenups that say "even if we are together 50 years - you still get nothing". And there are prenups that say - if we are together X years you get this much and 2 times X years you get that much. The former seems harsh, the latter seems fair.

carhill Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Every time I interact with stbx, I feel like I didn't pay her enough to go away. A pre-nup would have limited my generosity too much Link to post Share on other sites
