Life Did you (or will you) sign a prenup? - Page 11

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.

So, if you met, dated and wanted to marry a women worth $10 million dollars and you truly loved her but she asked you to sign a pre-nup stating that IF the marriage were to dissolve, you weren't entitled to any portion of that $10 million, you'd decline?

Well in that case, I'd say that's not "true love".

I'd tell her to go marry her money.

Sure you would.

****, I LOVE this place!

Only on Chiefsplanet would someone NOT marry for love if they had to give up the right to their betrothed's assets.

Secondly, most people in their 30's and 40's that are getting married (for the first or second time) don't own their homes outright. There's a bank note and for most, the equity is probably around $100k or so.

Those are the cases that are perfect for a pre-nup.

Exactly.

I don't like agreeing with Dane but you guys are forcing my hand...

It's not like the argument is valid 99% of the time...women just don't marry out of their social class unless they have some serious issues (and in that case, you don't want to marry them anyways)...

Any girl with $10M is going to marry a guy with money...that's life. She might sleeze around with some big, strong men...but she's not going to marry one.

However...

If I ever have a shit ton of money and I marry a girl who has nothing...there will be a prenup in place...

However again...

If I ever have a shit ton of money I doubt I'll GET married unless I am already married...no point.

In all honesty...if I didn't want children some day I'd see no reason for marriage anymore, anyways...

Lets see, hobbies are: sports, NFL, playing poker, gambling, napping, drinking, watching cool TV shows...

right now I have a girlfriend who is pretty badass and lets me do just about all of those no questions asked (she gets mad at video games sometimes)...but if this doesn't work out and I stumble upon a bunch of money someday and am still single at age 40...

I'll get married to the casino and hook up with randoms or jerk it to internet porn for the rest of my life...sadly that would be a content life for me...

If I had the money I could be a damn good poker player...don't have the patience for smaller limits and don't have the capital for big limits...therefore profitable poker isn't an option for me.

LOL Totally.

And only on CP is having a conversation about what you want done with your children, assets, property etc... BEFORE you get married some kind of indication of a poor relationship...

I guess it is better to not talk about it or have a binding agreement about these things...and just wait till the marriage ends, and emotions are running high to sort it out...LOL

Maybe, but considering that half of that $100k would go to legals fees, I'm not sure it's worth $25k to each individual.

I mean, a prenup over $25k? That seems petty and silly to me.

I would, being that this is hypothetical since i'm married to the perfect woman and my best friend i guess it's easy for me to say.

Sorry, Hootie.

well it only costs 2k to write it up, and in your example it would be worth 100k to the guy and also, the hassle of not having to sell his house.

You can call that petty in your wealthy world, but 2k to protect 100k in equity isnt petty to me...the 2k SAVES on the legal fees....well it should, if done properly.

Well, my point was that it would be a difficult sell to a potential marriage partner.

I'm not trying to insult anyone but if someone asked me to sign a prenup because of $100k in equity, I'd turn and run the other way.

$5 million? Sure. $100k?

Go **** yourself.

Well, i think your logic fails you there. Your saying 5 million is worth it to you......But 100k isnt. Well, Someone wealthier than you might laugh at 5 million.....

There are people in this country who wouldnt laugh at 100k, believe me. And there are people that have messy divorces over much less....I know to guys like you who have everything, it seems 'beneath you.' But it is a lot of money to some people (100k) and also could be sentimental (a family home).

For you to judge someone because X amount of money is not enough for you....well you have to realize that X is different for everyone. I didn't realize you were that far disconnected from the common person...

Hootie · 01-14-2011, 01:21 AM

well I believe what is mine is mine...

If the girl I marry needs me to sign something so she makes sure she gets to keep it in case something goes wrong...then where do I sign? I don't care if it's for $30M, $30K or a pack of cigarettes.

If I demand she signs something so she can't put her greasy paws on my Xbox360 then she best oblige or I'll give her the people's boot!
