prenuptial agreement

[xaeniac]

What's your stance on this issue?

 

[DaTT]

Depends on the situation........if i have tons and she has nothing, then sign on the dotted line....if she has lots and I have nothing, no need for the prenup.... 😉

 

[Taggart]

Do it, or you'll lose your shirt later when you get a divorce.

 

[dawnbug]

I think it's a good idea if someone's coming into the marriage with substantially more than the other person. Otherwise, it's pointless.

QFT.

It's a CYOA thing.

In true ATOT tradition, I quote Kanye West:

:music: 18 years, 18 years
She got one of yo kids got you for 18 years
I know somebody payin child support for one of his kids
His baby momma's car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV Any Given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was spose to buy ya shorty TYCO with ya money
She went to the doctor got lypo with ya money
She walkin around lookin like Michael with ya money
Should of got that insured got GEICO for ya moneeey
If you aint no punk holla We Want Prenup
WE WANT PRENUP!, Yeaah
It's something that you need to have
Cause when she leave yo ass she gone leave with half
18 years, 18 years
And on her 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his :music:

 

[SilentZero]

I am all for it, but the wife and I don't have one.

 

[KarenMarie]

I have told the b/f that it would be a good idea for him to get one with me if we ever got married. His parents are multi-millionaires and i have nothing by comparision. He said no... he would be marrying me 100%, not everything but money.


plus he says i have a proven track record, cause when divorced, i asked for 25% of what i was entitled to, legally. did not seem fair to me at the time to take stuff the ex had before he had me, even if it did increase in value during our marriage.

imho.. a prenup for protection is not a bad thing. a prenup out of greed is not a good thing.

prenup FTW

 

[ChaoZ]

I say yes. You can never tell what's going to happen in the future.

LOL, last night i had a convo about this with a few friends, one of whom is going to be an estate planner. My GF refuses to sign a prenup but i'm not going to let that stop us from getting married. Solution: create an off shore corporotation in which a close friend of your ows and give all the large assets to the corp: house, car, jewlery

 

[Baked]

Make sure you put in the part where it states you'll not pay for alimony.

While I am all for equal distribution, and fairness in splitting assests, I am not sure about the "no alimoney' clause. I suppose it would have to depend on the length of the marriage and who did what during the whole time.

If the wife stayed home to raise the children and run the house... she should be paid alimony for as long as it takes for her to get good training and get a job.

You wouldn't trust a woman who's willing to profess her lifelong love for you with half of your (and her) assets, but you'd trust a close friend with all of your assets? Seems kind of risky.

i'm sorry, i meant family member. there are 4 people that i trust with my life (2 fam 2 friends, but they have been around for so long that thy are fam)

 

[Conky]

I've pondered this question myself as my gf wants to get married. Neither of has any real assets now but I stand to inherit substantial assets at some point so I'm thinking pre-nup just in case.

what if your friend gets divorced?

I'd rather give control to one of my siblings.

I would NOT get married without a prenup. I saw my uncle get taken to the cleaners by his ex wife, he's a CPA and does well for him self, she is a PhD. at J&J makes like $100k a year and still cleaned out my uncle.


but you guys are amateurs. when you think you're not going to make it, convert all of your stocks to bearer bonds and stash them at the rent's house or a sibling's safety deposit box.

I suppose family is less likely to screw you over financially, but it seems like if your future wife is not willing to sign a prenup, she would be equally unwilling to allow you to leave all of your collective assets in the hands of one of your family members.

What will be the terms of your prenup?

 

[imported_hscorpio]

I think its weird that people always say they would only get a prenup if they were really wealthy. To me the average joe schmoe needs it more than some super rich dude, since the rich dude can probably recover easily and afford the alimony, etc.

the thing is that you have to allocate assets to unmarried people and put in clause after clause that upon marriage, assest are transferred to a new umarried party

That is my point exactly.

The b/f's parents came here from Poland. The German's took all their families' property during WWII, so they came here young... did not speak the language, knowing no one. The father busted his azz, do ANYTHING he could... painting with lead, working with mercury, whatever... to support his young wife, so she could stay home and raise their family.

After 40+ years, they own two companies, about 6 houses (some multi dwelling) and large packets of commerical property. Much of it will be left to hthe b/f. He is safe with me, but I think it would be wrong that anyone he married would possibly be legally entitled to 1/2 (or more) of everything his parents worked so hard and made so many sacrifices for. He would be foolish NOT to protect himself.
