"Women have moved up the socio-economic ladder. They're partners in law firms, doctors and professors, and they want to secure their investments."

But it's ok to shaft husbands and fathers in family court, eh Rita?

having drafted a few of these little wonders, it is very interesting to observe the difference between the men and women.

Women have prenups for different reasons than men. Generally, if it is a "professional" woman the prenup is a indication that the woman is a feminist and has no intention of being a wife. She just wants to be married for some unknown reason. Women are looking for an escape route.

Men are strictly asset protection. Men are looking to preserve themselves.


In either case, if not drafted correctly and REASONABLY they can be challenged successfully.

so by the MSM opinion:

When a professional man wants a prenup he is being a selfish pig who is cheating the woman by getting ready for divorce. How dare he weasel out of paying support to the woman.

When a professional womyn wans a prenup she is being a liberated independed woman who is protecting the fruits of her labors from a money grubbing man. (heaven forbid SHE have to pay support...)


Actually in all seriousness, prenups can be very valuable to help OLDER people who have adult children and assets they want to go to their children.

So, in the old days when a man got married, and his wife eventually divorced him, she got half the dough. Now, because women are working, they're worried about forking over half their dough in a divorce so they're pushing pre-nups.

Does anyone else see something wrong here?

More of these agreements means fewer John Kerrys.

I am all for it!
