When you get married, are you going to get a prenup?

I have been married for 36 years now and definately did not have a pre-nup. In fact I do not think that they even existed in those days. The laws here in Australia are different in that there is generally an equal split on assets and the courts do not recognise a pre-nup anyway. There is no alimony anymore, although there is child support for any child/ren of the marriage. Our son is still single and if he marries, then it is up to him to decide what he wants to do. We have made Wills that leave certain things in trust to any future grandchildren, as they are the future and it will be into their safe hands that the family memorabilia goes. Each to his own of course but I do believe that something like a pre-nup is going in with a rather negative attitude towards the marriage.

I don't want a prenup, well I aint got much assets anyway but even if I did I wouldn't want one. Yeah it's good to be same but at the time it's almost like giving yourself a 'nice' way out before you even begin.

I don't need any pre-nuptial agreement as well any divorce in the future because I don't want my children to suffer. It's a matter of commitment.It is just a waste of money and time.

It's okay with me if I'll get married without a prenup. If I love the person, Prenup agreement shouldn't be given much importance.I believe, it is extended to those who always want to be on the safe side.

Nope. If I made millions, maybe I would. But since my fiance and I both make pretty much equal amounts, I feel it would be pointless for us - plus it would just add on extra "we might get divorced someday" feelings. I don't believe in divorce unless there is abuse, so if I ever get divorced b/c of that, I would want to go through the courts and get every dime I could! That's not gonna happen though so pre-nups don't really matter to us.

my fiance always jokes yeah get your gonna get a prenupwhen we get married and im liek and y..u dont trust me.. but we discussed it and we would never do that. it jsut means u donttrust the person. thats just our opinion though

well I didnt do a prenup I loved my hubby and I wasnt planning on divorce. Although some times it does happen I just hope it doesnt happen to us. We have a beautiful son and we are very happy. I hope u find the right woman!

When my husband and I got married neither one of us had anything the other could take away. So no prenup here. :)

When i get married i dont think i will prenup i dont think its necessary for us to do that.Its not like we are the rich and famous.I sure dont have much.

I am getting married very soon and although I don't plan on getting one... I wouldn't be saying no if she offered.

Ughhhh! I've been struggling with this question for the past two years. I just can't come to an conclusion as whether to give up have of what i own or protect my asset. It's not her but the laywers and court systems i don't trust.

Geee its sooo different here in NZ.. You do have the option of having a "Prenup" but very FEW people do.. The Law here is that.. If you have been in a Relationship with someone for more than 3 years.. You are considered Married and you are entitled to HALF of what your partner owns and vise-versa.. For me personally.. If it ever came to that with my partner.. I said to him "You can have Everything" I even wanted to put it down in writing in front of a Lawyer.. but he said "No" I dont have a problem with the things that I own. Thats all they are... "THINGS" IMO

If you have something that's worth protecting then a prenup is the way to go. If the other person is offended then chances are it isn't going to work out to begin with. If I had it to do all over again I would have had some type of agreement drawn up but I was a supid foolish love sick girl back then .. someone who never thought she'd get cheated on ... but that's a whole different post. Bottom line, if you have something you love and don't want someone asking for it in a divorce settlement, get it all in writing and have it notarized or have a prenup drawn up.

No because I only plan on getting married once. I'm not getting a divorce. Never!

In the country I live in it is common to have a contract like a prenup. I would certainly get one myself if I ever decided to actually marry someone. I think that if you have something of your own and stand to lose it then you should protect it. As for your comment on alimony- If your wife works full time the whole way through then she should not get alimony however if you want her to be a housewife and not work then yeah you better pay her alimony if you divorce as she will have no way to support herself then as she hadn't been working. That wouldn't be right at all.

Would I sing a prenup Yes I would but since I have been married for almost 13 years it is a little late lol.

We didn't. Of course, neither of us really had anything either. We're both mature enough to deal with things civilly. If we ever did divorce, we'd work something out.

I am not againts about it but in my case, if you love someone you have to trust wholeheartedly and sincerely! You have to take time knowing with each other deeper and never haste to any decision!

I dont want a prenup at all i dont see the reason for one. I think that if you love one another then there shouldnt b a reason to think that you need one. I mean of course if you get one its only for the purpose if you do break up then you both wont be struggling tryin to find ur way after everything is all said and done. I honestly dont want a prenup when i get married. If me and my husband decided its not gonna work i would gladly go my way and let him have what he has i would expect the same from him

I am not planning on getting married but if I do I could possibly want as prenup. If me and my partner are equal in wealth then I probably will not, but if I am richer than my husband then I will want a prenup. I think that caught tend to give women more than they give men generally, which is why if wealth is equal I do not think it is important.
