Do Prenups actually protect you in a marriage?

I used to wonder this but people change, you could marry a selfless wonderful woman but she could be a completely different person when you're divorcing her.

If thats the case, then again, you didnt do your due dilligence enough. The person you're marrying, really shouldnt be that different to the person you're divorcing. If they are, it means they played you and you didnt do your homework. Didnt focus on the important things about a persons character. Didnt look at their track record etc.

Terrible logic. You dont know someone will handle something like divorce until you actually divorce, hence the need to protect yourself.

You need to have a well-written one. I saw a case a long time ago where the prenup granted a woman all gifts she received during the marriage and they figured out a way to exploit a loophole to give the ex-wife 1/2 the guy's company.

Isn't there a saying that goes you don't really know who you married until you get a divorce... And it's true. Especially depending on the reason for divorce. The flipside of this conversation is that most people don't have enough wealth or assets to really warrant a prenup anyway..

And this is what kills me. The system favors emotional beings when in reality money is finite and very dangerous when the motive is not logical.

Imo when u divorce someone the only thing that should be split is joint accounts and if a home or something had both names on the property.

You cant be "done" with someone and then be indebt to them and handicapped from being anle to move on.

nikkas going keep falling for the scam we call marriage you have to be a weak easily manipulated dude to think love trumps common logical sense I tell any dude that wants to get married if that's your prerogative then do you but understand the risk you are taking and do not do it all under "love" love is supposed to be a action real love is them fukking bills paid and food in the refrigerator every month fukk all this over romantiscized bullshyt version of love people think they are practicing if you are looking at love as an emotion that's why your marriage will fail because emotions are fleeting they are here today and gone tommorow

A prenup is very easy to overturn, judges do it all the time. Any piece of shyt divorce lawyer can claim it was signed under duress, there wasnt full disclosure, not enough time between the prenup and marriage, etc.

A divorce layer told me most guys who elect to get a prenup get it right before the marriage, when it should be soon after you get engaged. Each party should have their own attorney and you need to be transparent with your finances. I'm actually about to see him soon since I want to propose to my girl but I want to protect myself.

That's like saying why drive a car if you think you're going to need insurance for it..

Lol, that comparison doesnt stick. But ok, for the sake of argument, if that is the logic, your 'insurance' to a marriage that lasts should be trust, love and mutual respect. Not some piece of paper. Your spouse is supposed to be the 1 person in your life you should be able to rely on.

I get that its hard to come across these days, because people get married too soon, for all the wrong reasons and to the wrong people. But I stand by my belief, marry the right person for the right reasons, do your due dilligence as much as you can. Doing this might not mitigate the risk of a divorce but it will significantly impact how a possible divorce is handled.

Lol. Naive, Idealistic you can give me whatever label you want. I know I believe in the right thing, I believe in marriage done the right way. Meaning it be a connection of trust love and respect first and foremost between 2 individuals.

Yeah. If she dont agree to terms she can have the ring and the engagement is off.
