A prenup is a good way give your fiancé a sudden case of cold feet.
And most barbers, when asked, will say you need a haircut. Shocker!
I messed that up - didn’t think to get a prenup. We’ve been married for several decades. I suppose this sleazy lawyer thinks I should go get a prenup now.
A divorce attorney named Joe Kordell runs ads here telling people to explore every alternative and pursue divorce as a last option.
So even if you are a truly devoted couple in love where divorce is extremely unlikely, the attorney can at least make some money on preparing a prenup document.
Wow.
If it’s your 2nd marriage I agree. BTW just passed the 40 year milestone with my 1st and only wife:-)
A prenup at the time we got married would have protected a good solid couple hundred dollars! If I had even that!
God knows we didn’t marry for money.
The final scene from War Of The Roses.
“A divorce attorney wants to make sure people get divorced?”
That’s not how I look at it. Couples get divorced and it is what it is. Couples get married thinking it’s gonna be a cake walk, and she’s doing it the American way: there’s a market for divorcees and she wrote about it. She’s NOT writing that all couples get divorced..
My sister signed a pre-nup. He is worth at least a billion. It made sense. Especially since thew were both over 40.
What I prefer over a prenup, though, is marriage options as I’ve heard some states do:
Marriage type A - what we seem to have in most of the country today. Also where a no-fault divorce would probably be the norm.
Marriage type B - called a “covenant marriage”. In this case, you don’t get to ask for a “no-fault” divorce. Kinda like the old days.
So, type A marriages can be ended like a partisan impeachment can be passed. Type B marriages also require the equivalent of the Senate Trial, but where the opposite “party” has a majority position. i.e. if only one of you wants the split up, it’s gonna require murder. ;)
Don’t couples who get prenups get divorced at a higher rate? In fact, a lot of prenups basically force couples to get divorced by a certain year.
“A divorce attorney wants to make sure people get divorced? “
actually, if all couples had a well-written pre-nup, it’d pretty much put divorce attorneys out of business ... a pre-nup is nothing more than a marital property contract that overrides the default contractual provisions of the marital property contract of the state that one is married in, and which one implicitly agrees to when signing a finalized wedding license ... pre-nups are particularly important for males in states in which the tables are heavily tilted against the male ... also important when one partner has assets that vastly exceed the assets of the other ...
No fault divorce is stupid.
My wife and I married in our 20s, and had our first child 10 months later. We had just bought a small apartment, got some very simple furnishings, and with new child, our expenses were high. She had left her job to watch our child. At one brief point, our bank account was overdrawn, and we couldn’t go to the grocery store, while I waited for my paycheck. I remember when that happened, she took a deep breath, and smiled.
things have improved considerably since then. So our pre-nup is: She’s entitled to everything we have, and more.

which means its a good way to weed out the gold-diggers, hey?
