Over a casual dinner, Rachel Kaplan turned to her boyfriend and asked, "You're open for a prenup, right?"
Darren Waldohlz, 38, a partner in a successful speed-dating business, admits he was caught off guard. But he said he realized a prenuptial agreement would protect the house he owns, too.
"It's not that I plan to get divorced," says Kaplan, 23, a single mom from Fort Lauderdale, who has a sizable inheritance. "I have to protect myself and my daughter."
While men are still more likely to seek a prenup, "women are becoming a more dominant force," said attorney Alan Braverman, who has offices in Fort Lauderdale and Boynton Beach.
Experts attribute the change to women marrying later or more than once.
"It's not uncommon in today's world that women are entering marriages with assets and stock options," said matrimonial attorney Jacqueline Valdespino, in Coral Gables. "Now both sides have equal bargaining power."

I had that same thought. It reminded me of Mohammed Atta's gang, hanging out in strip clubs just prior to going on their religious "mission" to earn their virgins.
The way some people view women in this world is disgusting.
she can have a little beer.
she in fact just DID have a little beer.
mollie likes MGD
Yes it is. And one to be constantly and consistently challenged.
To think that someone is to be subjugated like that is a very totalitarian idea.
I found out my Husky, Duchess, LOVES Budweiser. I have to watch her. She got about an ounce out of one I was drinking this past weekend and wasn't right for a while.
great dogs, Huskies.
Thank you Mike. You are a very good man. You will make a wonderful father.
mollie just gets a tongueful or so.
yes, I let her sip out of the same bottle I swig.
whaaaat? ohhh, come on! ohhh, do shut up!
I typed a reply to that but lost it. I think that guy is a wimp. He gets a woman from a third world country who will do anything to come to the United States. There are plenty of good women in this country if all ethnic backgrounds who want a good man to be their PARTNER in a marriage. He just wants a slave. What is he giving her in return? He said nothing about that.
LOL
hey I have put a dog bone a quarter of the way in my mouth and let Duchess come up and get it.
Of course she was only about 2 months old at the time. I was trying to get her to trust me.
Generally, the dogs LOVE cheese in any shape or size.
generally, I agree.
however, it needs to be kept in mind that there are many personality types, including those oddballs who actually NEED to be subjugated to feel good about themselves and function as effective human beings.
I will certainly try.
My dad was a great example.
yeah but it appears that Age of Idiocy here is one of those that he either holds the whip hand or he whines and complains because he doesn't.
I have no problem with the father being the head of the household. However, he is not above his wife. They are equal.
The creepiest wedding pictures I ever saw were of a Vegas wedding between a Russian bride and her American hubby.
The girl was terrified, wasn't smiling and was literally pulling away from him. He had a death grip on her that spoke volumes.
The women are coming here for a WESTERN lifestyle...
including independence, cute shoes and cell phones. The guys who think their are coming here to live out some Zor fantasy are twerked in the head.
'sides, there are lots of BDSM sites now and lots of chicks who get off on the whole dom/sub thing. Let those guys go there. OK, so mebby the Sub part doesn't include cooking, cleaning and doing laundry ;)
OK, maybe it's that they're too cheap to hire a housekeeper AND a sex toy.
there you go :)
My wife's dad was apparently like that too.
He is a great guy AND he gets me football tickets :)
And the history of mankind bears me out.
Unlike some, I do not parrot what has been drilled into your head by the social brainwashers of the sexual revolution.
I have given reasons for my viewpoint.
And you called my viewpoint crap.
So you must have felt the need to surpress my ideas--as a way of denying the truth.
Therefore, I see no further reason to post to you.
I am confident in my views, while you are apparently insecure in yours.
Yes.
It is true that a woman having sex with a man out of wedlock is a repulsive act.
Silly,
She meant YOU and your attitudes are repulsive.
Don't play games.
We're being straight....play straight back.
