Prenup Agreement

YOPIE · Posted: Fri Aug 25, 2006 7:21 am Post subject: Prenup Agreement

Has anyone done one? Have you given it any thought?

just curious, FH & I did one, as we are both marrying for the second time and have a lot of equity built up on our own and want to make sure our kids get what their parents have worked so hard for...........

just curious as to what others may have done.

We dont have one, but we're just starting out, getting married for the first time. And i guess that's the determining factor. I think if it was my 2nd time and had stuff saved and worked hard for things, and especially if kids are involved, i'd consider a prenup too. You don't do it because you think things won't work out, but to protect what's is yours and those you care for.

I agree DeeC. I did have one the first time though too.
I had a lot of investments at the time. You are right though, if you are just starting out with nothing really to speak of then it does not matter as much. But for some of our brides who are a little older and have some capital worth you may want to give it some thought too.

DH and I have been together since we were 19 - everything we have, we've purchased and worked for together.

For us, there was really no need.

FH and I have been together for 8 years and we bought our first home together, the subject has never come up between us and I don't think there is a need, the only thing we have is debt!! LOL.

My FH and I met at 19, now 8 years later we did everything together, we each know what each other has, and we each know what each other is spending. It doesn't make sense for us at this time.

Like others have said my FH and I are working for things together... there really is no need for a prenup. Some may need it but I have to say... wouldn't that be a hard thing to bring up?? If you both agree that is great but if one wants it and the other does not hmmm that could lead to some issues.

even though fh and I have been in other relationships we are not going into this marriage with a prenup..we kinda feel like that is saying well if it doesnt work this is mine and thats yours..and I'm only marrying again because I know the mistakes I made before and I know that fh is the missing half of my soul. I'm going to marry this man for whatever is left of our lives..in good times and bad, in sickness and health.. and I'm not worried about equity or couches..I want my life with this man forever.

I agree with you Linda......100%

my only reasoning for the poll was I own my home, have a large sum of investments.......when you go into a relationship with substantial equity, the last thing I want is for someone to take it away.......in the end we wrote wills and a prenup, covered off what is to happen and we are happy with our prospects. DH now promises me rocking chairs at the lake and a good 40 years together! That's all that truly matters in the end.

I just want others to keep their eyes open as anything can happen, not that any of us ever want to walk down the divorce aisle. You and I both know, that sucks!

I think everyone should protect what they have worked for.
As long at is fair and works for both parties.
I have my own buisness and would have to give half of it away over splitting up with someone.

we're not getting a marriage pre-nup... but we do have a common-law one. fh bought a company and still has lots of debt from that... he wanted to protect me in case anything happened to him. (basically says my debt is mine and his is his)

We don't have one ... although it isn't like we really have any property or big investments. I don't think we'd get one either way.

We're planning on getting one. We had a co hab agreement (and based on it's wording would convert to a pre-nup), but we had dd in April so it needs to be updated. I made the downpayment, legal fees, etc, and own the house, pay the mortgage and property taxes. He pays the utilities in lieu of a rental agreement. It may not sound romantic, but this is all about protecting my equity which is really my daughter's. Now we need to get the will updated.

The only thing of value my hunny and I have together is the house which is in both our names anyway.

We really don't have anything else that we have worked for seperately.

But I get custody of the animals! I will fight for that. LOL
