How do you feel about prenups?

I think anyone with considerable assets prior to marrying, would be a fool not to ensure those assets are protected, in case of divorce. It's like taking out insurance. You hope you don't ever need it, but if you do, you're darned glad you have it.

Inheritance wouldn't be part of marital property anyway. So a prenup wouldn't be needed in your case.

No I favor prenups because both couples should be able to shield themselves and assets earned prior to marriage from the divorce courts. Financially speaking, they do tremendous damage to both and the road to recovery is difficult.

In your case, any inheritance is not subject to a division during divorce but it depends on the state you live in.

We don't have one. I don't have an issue with them per se, but I don't think that people realize they're not as "effective" as people might think. There are a lot of legal loopholes.

I think you better get 1.

I think they are wonderful. I was in a relationship with my ex-boyfriend for 19 years. I told him when we got together in 1996, that I would never marry him. But last fall he started pressing me to marry him. At first I said no, but then I changed my mind. I told him I would marry him, but he had to sign a prenuptial agreement. He balked at that, and he broke up with me in February of 2016.

He thought it was OK for him to pressure me into marriage, but it wasn't OK for me to make him sign a prenuptial agreement. I'm glad that were not together anymore.

Logically, a prenup is smart, and shouldn't upset the other party if they are not a gold-digger. On the other hand, it can send a message that you don't expect the marriage to last, don't want her taken care of in the end and makes her unsure about your feelings. Usually a person wants to share EVERYTHING with their spouse, so a prenup is like a holding back. But if you approach it as a strong suggestion from your lawyer, and not really something you are invested in, it might be OK.

Good idea.

I would never sign one or present it to a women. A marriage is 50/50. So what happens if your just waiting for your dad to kill over get the business then divorce her. You have something to fall back on. If I was her I would wipe your azz with that paper.

I never cared if I got married to begin with so assuming a woman wanted me to marry her and then turned around and asked me to sign a prenup, I'd just walk away and let her find someone else.
