Do Prenups actually protect you in a marriage?

[Apollo Creed]

I just laughed my ass off reading this and tuna with crackers just went everywhere.

That was the FIRST thing she asked me to do was to help her refi her loans by putting my name on them.....and I DIDNT EVEN THINK about it until you mentioned this. She asked me the DAY after the honeymoon....no fukking joke....the DAY after.

Hell nah.

I want my girl to home school my kids for at least early childhood. To cover myself Id more than likely open a business for her or give her a percentage of a business i own so if we ever split shed just get that percentage or at least have consistent work history so she can get a job on her own (assuming she doesnt have her own business).

Love is not enough. That's all I will say.

Why get married if you think you're gonna need protection from your spouse?

Same reason why people get insurance on cars, houses and their lives.....shiit can happen

Like all legal agreements, they can't be entered-into if the parties are underaged, mentally incompetent, or if the contract is signed under duress.

'Under duress' is like a catch-all phrase for damned near anything you can imagine.

For instance: Day of the wedding, you pull out the prenup and demand your soon-to-be-spouse sign it. Pre-nup could be voided.​

not to mention if the prenup is deemed to be to unbalanced or unfair the judge can void it

 

[acbjr22]

Prenups can also be voided if the spouse did not receive counsel or if there wasn't full disclosure(meaning she wasn't informed of the rights or interests she was waiving). In other words you have to reveal to her all your financial assets before a prenup is entered into.

Why get married if you think you're gonna need protection from your spouse?

One of my Top 5 reasons for not wanting marriage; women romanitize a business transaction such as marriage is. It just is.

People change; men and women.

We all have car insurance, none of us expect a car crash.

Prenups should be required, IMO.

People at the end if marriages get petty, forgetful of their vows and vindictive.

Ppl get divorced all the time..we all ain't special.

70% of divorces are initiated by women.....

So...? Are you saying that all women that initiate a divorce do it with bad intentions and want to get the man financially to pay up?

How old are you?
You sound like you are very young.

Life isn't a fairy tale. People are not 1-Dimensional.
The same person who is amazing might be a different person altogether if their mother dies of cancer, or if they lose their job and go into depression, or if they serve a tour and lose a limb.


You're basically implying that everyone who has ever had any marital issues or gotten a divorce was simply lazy in choosing their partner.
While i'm sure that is true in some cases, that is not true in all cases.

Once you experience more life and get into more serious relationships, you will realize that human beings are capable of more than you give them credit for, good and bad.

I am 33, I know life isn't a fairy tale, I know people are not 1 dimensional. But who you are at your core is who you will remain. Are you a person that does the right thing regardless of the type of adversity you face, or do you take that opportunity and become petty and vengeful? Those choices all come down to character.

I am not saying they are lazy, but most probably did overlook certain things, so take accountability in the divorce, own up for your shortcomings, but walk away with dignity and respect for each other.

I guess I have been fortunate enough to have married (but ultimately) divorce a man that shared the same views and morals. No pettiness or anything.
