would you want a pre-nuptial agreement before marriage?

I guess that is the case. I think that if I had a lot of money and I meet the person while I was rich I would do it that way. But if I've known the person for awhile and they knew me perhaps before I became rich then that would be a different story.

I would not want to do a pre-nuptual agreement before marriage. Having had my weird experience with my ex- wife, that could have justified my doing a pre-nuptual agreement prior to marriage, I do not support the notion for the following reasons: (1) It does not guarantee that both parties will survive the hassle of separation,and; (2) It does not necessarily minimize or mitigate the challenges associated with being married. In fact, I think that the 'downside' of the application of the concept of pre-nuptual agreements prior to marriage may inherently breed an element of mistrust in the relationship! In addition, this activity may promote the wrong effect of being married.., that is, the unification of both entities in the ammassing of wealth, and the joining of resources to enhance the survival of the family. What say you?

hi estre, Why I will marry him if I will think to be separated eventually if I will think this way better to have a living arrangement then. happy mylotting

I never want to have a pre-nuptial agreement before marriage because i have no interest to my husband properties and he has no interest too. Before we get married some of his relatives open up this topic to us but my husband refuse to tackle it because we know in our heart we will never be separate and were going to live together for the rest of our lives. What ever we have right now will be inherit by our future children.

Personally, I do not see the reason for a pre-nup, at least in my case because I really don't have that much to my name. But if ever my husband would want me to sign one, then I have no issues with it. I mean, I can work, I've been working for 7 years and I know I can sustain myself and my needs. I would however request to add another clause in the agreement that in the event of a separation, I will have the custody of our kids (if ever we have some) but he will have free access to them (depending on the reason of our separation, for example if he's w wife-beater then heck no, he can't be around us). And he will support our kids in their education and healthcare. The rest I can take care of. When we got married, it is no doubt that my husband is way "richer" than I am. I told him I am open with this if he wants to have one but he won't hear any of it. We got married without any pre-nup.

I think its necesary if one of the couple has alot of money or values. But if its not a great deal Id say no.

I think that, although it might seem like a very unromantic thing to do before you get married, you should be protecting yourself and your partner from everything that could possibly happen in your future. Neither of you know what is going to happen, and the best thing that you can do is to make sure that you're aware about what would happen if you did split up. You would regret not doing it if you split and then you had to give half of your money that you've worked so hard for to your partner when they didn't do anything at all to work towards it.
