Should you get a prenup for marriage
Some say yes, some say no. Let’s see what blind says
A no would be a sign of significant ignorance.
Doesn’t make much sense unless you are high net worth
How about getting married in your home country and not registering it in the US? This obviously won’t work for common law marriage states though.
Both men and women can make high salaries these days. It makes sense to protect both the husband and wife.
Doesn't matter who makes what money. The laws are heavily biased against men.
Well that’s because, traditionally, women relied on their husbands for their livelihood. So the laws reflect that a man can’t just walk away and leave his wife penniless.
I ain’t saying she a gold digger,but she ain’t messin’ with no broke...
If you have to get into Prenup that means you don’t trust your partner.. Marriage is human and emotional matter, don’t connect it to stupid TC, net worth etc.. @op, If you have prenup thoughts, don’t get married!
If marriage is human and emotional matter, disconnected from net worth and TC, then divorces shouldn't have anything to do with money at all. Love and relationship is a human, emotional matter. Marriage on the other hand, is legal matter.
Oracle, what a stupid comment
Clinical psychotherapist, Mia Adler Ozair, lists "Thou Shalt Not Mention the ‘D’ Word" as one of his ten marriage commandments. "If you are serious about wanting to build a long-lasting, loving relationship, then [divorce] can simply not enter the vocabulary in a relationship," Ozair says. "Trust is built by knowing that regular marital issues that arise during the course of all relationships will be met with a true desire to communicate." The threat of leaving, or that one or both of you might opt out of the marriage, creates a hostile environment for trust and love to flourish.
It’s an even more hostile environment when one partner cheats on the other and then runs off with 50% of the assets even though they didn’t contribute to that nestegg.
Of course Mia Ozair says that. A woman must avoid a pre-nup at all costs, and men must do it no matter what. Because the laws are heavily biased against men.
It depends. If you both have your own assets at the time, it’s a good idea. If you have an imbalance of assets, I’ve seen it backfire (since it’s meant to protect that person’s assets. If you have very few assets, there’s no point unless you want to stipulate other conditions in the event of separation. All traditional Jewish weddings have this in their marriage contract, which was designed to protect women, their rights and standing in the community, and give them an income to live off in the event that they separated.
The assets keep changing. For instance, most people buy a house after getting married. And for most people that's the largest asset they'll ever possess.
In most states anything after marriage is communal property. Prenups I believe only make guarantees about past property, or how assets are divided in the event of a separation.
In my opinion, you shouldn't get married if you don't think you'll be in it for life. Why get married otherwise? Just live together. Still eligible for health etc. No advantages to marriage unless it's a super long hall commitment.
Yes. 100%. Every. Single. Time.
