Would You Sign A Prenuptial Agreement Before Getting Married? Why or Why Not?

Question

Absolutely. It can save you a lot of heartache, time and money. Most of my friends are quite wealthy and a few have been foolish enough to marry without a prenup. They were “in love” and didn’t need one. Well, as of now three of them have been battling the system for over a year. They are trying to protect their assets now that they are divorcing. It’s a bit late for all that. A prenup would have prevented all that. A simple document signed by both parties stipulating what happens in the event of divorce or separation.

It's only worth doing if you're a rich guy guarding against gold diggers.

yeah.
Signing a pre-nup doesn't mean that you don't take marriage/commitment seriously. It's simply an extra layer of protection over whatever assets/income you might have so that if it turns out that your partner was secretly using drugs or whatever.. you can nope out of there relatively scot-free.

yes. i wouldn't want his grubby slimy hands on my money or assets. separate bank accounts also. i trust no one.

MalesGOD1 · Answer

Today most pre-nups where the woman is the only one who looses from them are almost always thrown out by courts/judges even the most "iron clad" ones so as a man even asking a woman to sign one would be a total waste of time and would be useless and likely cost me more in a divorce someway somehow.
I would NEVER sign a prenup that says I am legally bound to pay out to a woman/ex wife outrageous sum and or ongoing payments of said outrageous sums of money and or (usually and) give up child custody in anyway. Because courts almost never throw those kind of prenups out.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

Absolutely.

I consider it a good limitus test. If my potential life partner can't handle a little thought exercise plus legal bondage, we're not meant for each other.

I'd rather have an engagement break up over a prenup than discover late in life I married a con artist, thief, or golddigger.

Besides, I'm a modern woman with my own assets. Not all of them I want to share. My retirement money is my own - hubby must provide his own ticket.

Seinna · Answer

If me or them felt the need to do that then that'd probably mean we shouldn't marry.

To me marriage is forever. And I am pretty well off, I really don't need anyone's money.

One case in which it could make sense is if one of us did a job that if an error was made, could result in a compensation claim.

tatianamay · Answer

Absolutely. It’s safer and you never know, when I’m old and make stupid decisions, I want my money to go to my kids and not to some weird gold digging dude

Starwitch23 · Answer

Yeah, if one partner earns significantly more income, especially if they want to pay little to no alimony. If your take-home pay is far less than that of your spouse, it could be wise to make sure you'll have support in the future.

ANK360 · Answer

Yes & it shouldn't be an issue with the significant other cause the problem is we can't predict the future how it may long or end after few years so it's just like insurance to be safe and it shouldn't be a problem either!

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

It’s a given, I have property investments that will go directly to my daughter and me getting remarried does not change that fact.

exitseven · Answer

My wife and I were both flat broke when we got married. We laughed about getting a prenup before we got married.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Yes, and it would ensure she cannot take any of my money or possessions/property upon leaving (among other stipulations).

45Fstraight · Answer

I would consider what's in it, but it feels like there is a trust issue.

rcljr · Answer

Women probably wouldn’t, their main goal in a relationship is $$$

IveGotNoName · Answer

No. If either of us think that we shouldn't be getting married. Marriage is forever.

jamesgoldman · Answer

Yeah it protects the company more than my limited assets but she'll want one so I want one too

007kingifrit · Answer

yes, its a requirement of modern marriage i don't trust a woman who won't sign one

Iron_Man · Answer

Sure I don’t want my house taken away from me and I’ve already paid the mortgage off

AnthonyJ01 · Answer

Yes, I lost a lot of property because of my ex. She never did as the court ordered. With her it is all about control.

Prideful · Answer

I don't sign anything with her. If I have to sign anything to be with her, it's a bad sign. Pun intended.

MaximilianIV · Answer

Yes, because I need my money when this bitch eventually cheats on me and trust me she will

NightHawk99 · Answer

I don't want any woman to control me. And she will not get that if I do decide to marry her.

Anonymous · Answer

YES. My mother didn’t do that and ended up getting financially screwed by my father after their divorce.

MasterfullyX · Answer

Prenups are thrown out by family courts so it's a waste of money and time.

Coulis · Answer

Yes, I have no issue with it.
