Life Did you (or will you) sign a prenup?

Jenson71 · 01-13-2011, 12:49 PM

Hi, I'd like to take a poll about the use/desire of prenuptial agreements, because I'm learning about them now and I'd like to see if they are more common then I'm thinking (I'm thinking along the lines of 20% have prenups), and some thoughts about them.

The poll is PRIVATE so tell the truth and nothing but.

My choice was: I am not married, but if I do, without prenup. Because of religious reasons, I don't think the Church will marry me with one.

I had nothing to need to sign a prenuptial agreement, even if I had anything of value the whole idea of getting married is that it is forever, at least in my generation is was.

I do know of lives that were wrecked because the parents demanded a prenup. The young lady basically lost it and the guy is now an alcoholic. Momma died shortly after wrecking the relationship.

I guess a prenup is needed if you plan a disposable marriage.

No prenup. How else am I supposed to get 50% of her shit?

You can get a post-nuptial agreement if you really want to get something like that.

As in, the Church allows that? That's interesting, I didn't know that. I do know Iowa doesn't allow those, though.

Married for 6 years, and like Norman, had nothing of real value to justify even considering it. Had I, I still wouldn't have done it. I waited until 27 to get married. I don't plan on ever doing it again. Of course, I did out kick my coverage.

**Old Dog** · 01-13-2011, 12:57 PM

Married, without. It was quite rare (at least to my knowledge) for normal folks to have one when we got hitched.

Tomorrow will be 24 years.

Most young couples don't have much, so in most cases there is no need for a prenup. However, if one person has a business, or home / proprieties or some other kinds of assets and the other person doesn't...Then a pre-nup MAY be something to consider. They are more complicated than that, but essentially unless one person has a lot of assets and the other one doesn't then you probably do not need one.

"If you ain't no chump, hollar we want prenup, we want prenup, Yeaaaah it's something that you need to have, cause when she leave your a$$ she gonna leave with half".

No way on earth would I get a prenup, till death do us part. I do find Kanye's song to be funny though.

THIS

InChiefsHeaven · 01-13-2011, 12:59 PM

I'm married, we didn't have a pre-nup. Mostly because neither of us had jack shit when we entered the marriage. IMO, a prenup tells the other person that you really don't believe that the marriage will last. If you REALLY believed in the marriage, and you really trusted the other person, you would not even think of a pre-nup. It's a risk you take, getting married.

And yeah, Jenson, I'm pretty sure the Church would not allow that. Rightly so. Now, if they would just quit handing out annulments willey-nilley...

I would think that someone of means that is getting married to a gold digger might need to be protected.

My response would be, don't marry a gold-digger.

No, not the church the church allowing it. I'm saying you could be married by the church, tell them you have no pre-nup, and then get a post-nuptial aq year later. Although, I suppose that would be a bit dishonest in the eyes of the Lord.
