Search Results: should i leave him marriage

Let's say a man with a net worth of $5 million dollars proposed to you. Before the marriage the man approaches with you this idea for a prenuptial agreement: Instead of you getting a fixed sum after the divorce, alimony, half of the house, etc., the prenuptial says "On the day of legal marriage (you, the wife) will receive a check for $1,000,000. Should you and your husband divorce (under any circumstances) you keep the $1M plus any interest, but you do not get anything else. But no matter what, the $1M you received on your wedding day is yours forever, no matter what. Do you think a woman who was paid "in advance" would be more likely to leave the man or less likely?

You also agree in advance to joint custody for any of his biological children born from the marriage.

This is effectively paying for the divorce in advance.

Would you sign this prenuptial agreement? If not, why not?

This is only and specifically referring to assets That the person had prior to marriage, not acquired during the marriage.

So hypothetically one spouse has 100 million in the bank prior to marriage.. They get married, 5 years later, they divorce. THERE IS NO ABUSE OR CHEATING OF ANY KIND INVOLVED. All that it says on divorce papers is that there are irreconcilable differences. Should should one partner be entitled to any portion of the other partner's 100 million dollars?

I kept this gender neutral for a reason.. Because in my opinion you leave the marriage with what you came into it with. Meaning if you came I to it with 100 million buck, the other partner is entitled to zero of it.. Anything made after the marriage should be split down the middle, but anything had prior to marriage, should be untouchable..
