Well, this may be good. But what does he get? And what is the total of joint assets? How much value did you bring to the assets during the marriage.
You should really have this gone over with a lawyer. A million may be great unless there are assets of a hundred million. I suggest that you negotiate for 50% of any gain of assets for the duration of the marriage with a minimum of one million plus any assets you have prior to the marriage. I would also add a clause that says the one who initiates the divorce gives up 10% additional assets unless it is in the case of proovable abuse or infidelity. But… by all means… don’t sign this without a lawyer.
Honestly, If something ever happened to my husband and I, my preference would be to make it on my own without his money. I would sign an agreement that said if the marriage was terminated what was his before the marriage remains his and vise versa. I believe that we all have to do our share in life and not rely on others to carve out our paths. However there are people that feel different than I do.
Honestly I don’t like the idea of a pre-nup because it means they are already preparing for a divorce before you are even married. Granted in this day and age nobody can really be 100% certain their partner won’t cheat or leave. SO I can understand that they are just protecting their interests, and if you are really in love with this person and will for real stnad by them through thick and thin…then why not just sign it? If you two are going to get married for the right reasons you have nothing to worry about. 
no if the one you love wants a prenuptual agreement there is distrust in you that makes him want to be protected. they should trust you no matter what. money cant buy you happiness but the money can buy plastic surgery to mkake you look happy. if i was rich as hell i would have to trust the person and marry them with no pre nup. i wonjt make them pay for mistakes others made screwing me over when they havent screwed me .
If the agreement specifies the fixed amount, no I would not sign it. It could work in your favor, but it might not, either.
Otherwise, I would sign it.
Yeah I’d sign. I’m not gonna marry someone for their money anyway.
Alot of the reason for a prenup is because the other half wants to know if you’re about the money or about them…
It’s a trust issue!
Maybe.
How much is the total sum involved? Do you get more if you have been married longer? Are there seperate provisions for your kids?
If I loved that person with my whole heart, yes i would,,,they are only protecting theirselves.. Some people might think they are heartless,,,and I dont think they are.
Yes I would probably sign that………after I had my lawyer look it over for loop holes and stuff…..lol!! But I think if you need a pre-nup then why are you getting married? TRUST is an issue people!
Yeah, I’d sign it. Obviously when you go into a marriage you’re not thinking about or expecting a divorce to follow, but the reality is that divorce happens every single day and people need to protect their assets. At least with this prenup you’re gauranteed to walk away with something (and for marriages that last like 6 months or so, you really don’t even deserve ANYTHING).
