Guest Hal Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Does that mean we are getting one? What money or possessions do we have to protect? You already know you can never have the car. I purchased that out of wedlock, I am winnar in Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Its not a bad thing. It can protect both parties at hand. If people love each other the way they say they do, then I signature on a line should be meaningless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 A prenup, because if suddenly she doesn't like anal she isn't going to show me how it feels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 "If the trust is there..." Sure, there is trust there now. There is always trust before you catch her blowing your best friend in a dumpster behind Arby's. Then, you get played AND lose your shit. You guys live in a fairy tale land. Just because YOU put your whole heart and trust into it NOW, does not mean future events do not and will not occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 A pre-nup, if properly written and executed, is the best thing. However, my wife and I are currently dividing our assets into two separate trusts where each one is the sole signor, only to be released to the other upon death. Both trusts have designated trustees that will determine how assets can be disbursed to our beneficiaries (either the surviving spouse or our children). I respect where this question is coming from. Ignore the fucking idiots...look past the pre-nup and spend an extra grand to construct trusts where other CREDITORS cannot touch your assets in the event of a death, dissolution of marriage, or bankruptcy (not just if the marriage doesn't work out!) and you won't have to worry about the future. I've got a good attorney that can help you, but be prepared to spend about $1500 or more, depending on how you want to structure your assets... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.COS Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 A pre-nup might be a great thing for both parties involved. However, if you can get the woman to see this, then you're a magician. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug1647545489 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Fuck the haters. If you have anything of value going into the marriage you need to protect yourself. Which it seems like you do. If you both have shit, well then it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Not having a pre-nup is about as smart as not wearing a seatbelt. Both are preventive measures that you can easily enact to protect you from something that you absolutely, without a doubt, cannot ever fathom predict occuring in the future. Are pre-nups unromantic? Sure. But are they the smart choice to protect you financially - and even emotionally - in the event the unspeakable occurs? Absolutely. 100% correct. We are finalizing ours right now. It basically protects us from either asking for alimony, driving up CC bills during a divorce, protects retirement funds, etc. I can't imagine Janet and I ever breaking apart, but if the unforseable happens, it won't happen for financial gain.

MrMeanGreen Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 BULLSHIT! Ohio is a "community property" state. Once married, it doesn't matter what there was before the marriage, you both own equal shares. Ask me how I know, and where Firebird Jr. went. What money or possessions do we have to protect? You already know you can never have the car. I purchased that out of wedlock, I am winnar in Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Call me old fashioned, but you shouldn't be getting married if you want a pre-nup. Think about it; You're basically saying "I don't trust you to stick to your vows, sign this just in case". If you think things may go sour, don't get married, hold out for some one who won't give you that feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug1647545489 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Considering something like 40-50% of marriages fail... I'll take my pre-nup please. You don't know what will happen in the future. People can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHaze Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I look at a pre-nup as sort of saying to your future spouse: "This marriage is about love and nothing else." If they say no, I'd think twice about marrying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
