Getting married in March. Prenups suck!

chris · 01-26-2006, 09:59 AM

We've been dating for almost 1.5 years; and several months ago, deceided to get married.

She and I had reached a verbal agreement on everything, now the attorneys are politely telling us how wrong we were.

Her attorney and my attorney are pounding each other; and the meter keeps running.

$5K for a prenup??? Yuck.

Whatever happened to building together??

From what my divorced coworkers tell me, not having one might cost you a lot more than 5k

Brock · 01-26-2006, 10:02 AM

If you are going to get married just to get divorced dont get married

That's sad. You should just take your fiance on a firestation tour. Problem solved.

You hired an attorney. She hired an attorney. WTF did you expect? They're both going to milk it.

If you need a prenup, you shouldn't really get married IMHO.

You don't need to sign a prenup when you don't get married. If people are so concerned about what to do when they want to split up they shouldn't be together in the first place.

"So uhhhhhhh, you want to get married?"

"Ya, I guess so."

"Cool, cool. Uhhhhhhhhhh, so when we hate eachother in a couple of years and feel like we would rather kill eachother than hump eachother, and want to destroy our kids lives we should probably decide who's crap is who's shouldn't we?"

"I guess so, but who should have to take the baggage that is our emotionally destroied son or daughter, which will always make us have to see eachother and constantly be a part of eachothers lives?"

"I call not it."

"We'll let the lawyers deal with it."

"Now thats a plan

"

Agreed. The problem here was you hired two attorneys, now the jacka**es are bleeding you dry. It's what they do.

Exactly, to further Brock's point, you two had an agreement in principle only 1 attorney should have been neccessary to ensure the proper legal language was used and it was filed in the courts correctly. Hiring two created the situation you two are now in.
