Hey guys I have been researching prenups and was curious about your opinions/suggestions. Things that you have seen or wish you would have thought of. I have always planned on getting a prenup whenever I get married because I feel a marriage should be about love and nothing else. I have seen too many cases of guys/girls getting screwed over to not protect myself. Basically what I want is my future wife and I to get nothing should we divorce. Of course anything we acquire together during the marriage is split between us because WE earned it. But that is the only thing I want to happen as I believe that is fair. I shouldn't have rights to things she had before the marriage, nor should see have to pay my bills afterwords or vice versa. This is of course excluding things we purchased together that are not yet paid off. So please post whatever you have to say on the subject.
Also before the flaming starts. A prenup isn't dooming the marriage from the beginning...it's a protection plan. Same reason we buckle our seat belts when we get in our cars. We don't plan on getting in an accident but would like to protect ourselves should the event occur. Same reason we get car insurance. Truth is people change and things are done out of anger/resentment and those heated decisions can have a lifelong effect on someone. A prenup is a nice way to try and prepare incase the worst happens.
