you can't protect assets acquired during the marriage with a prenup, I'm sure your attorney told you this


Due to technicalities in the law I view pre & post nup agreement as the same. A woman cannot wave rights to your benefits until after marriage when she is legally your spouse.

She can then sign the post nup you agreed to where she waves the right to be beneficiary to your 401k.


You may want to get technical about pre/post nup because of technicalities ,but a 401k can be protected if done properly.

Plus one has to sign a waiver with your 401k/retirement broker with the spouse confirming her waiver of account .Protected. I have really looked into it as I am cautious about my 401k

Marriage is a really shite deal for men. I believe in marriage, and I would prefer to date a man who believes in marriage, but I see why some people choose to avoid it completely.

I do see the female's side as well, but I still think it's more of a shite deal for men than any risk that women face.

Well, in some cases, it could start the marriage off on the wrong foot.

An in-law of mine was about to get married to her fiance when his family had him drop a pre-nup bombshell on her. Caused a lot of animosity on the other side of the family and, in turn, put a lot of stress on her and the new marriage.


this is why it should be established early when a relationship gets serious. I will bring it up before even proposing

I've never been able to understand this. Taking precautions doesn't mean you have no faith in your relationship to last. If something were to happen, then there's already a document signed by both parties and you don't have to get lawyers involved or frick each other over. Someone explain this to me.

Yeah, I'm not divorced, or plan on doing it, but getting married was one of the biggest mistakes I've made. Nothing against my wife, but it's just not for me.


Very interesting. I'd love elaboration on this if you care to.

There are still plenty of lawyers involved with prenup divorces.

Prenups are for older people. Second marriages. Most people who marry the first time young don't have anything anyway.

It truly shocks me that people don't want to sign one.

Why wouldn't she be entitled to half of what you put away while married? Just like you'd get half hers

The only time its done is when the wife or the wife's side of the family is significantly less wealthy than the husband's side of the family. If both families are in equal social standings, it tends to be rather pointless.

Holy shite. Wish I saw this earlier. Are you fricking 12?


I don't understand the hatred of women by some of you youngsters.

You don't marry a pussy or for a house keeper. This person will be raising your babies and sharing your home. Choose wisely and you won't need a prenup.

Or marry a fricking dude. Seems like what you woman haters are really interested in after all.

Choosing wisely can still lead to a divorce, loss of assets, and even loss of custody of children. As in any other contract you enter, the wise and prudent thing to do is protect yourself as much as possible. Fact is, things can change, protect yourself.

If inheritance is used to fund the purchase of property during the course of the marriage that property becomes community, therefore possible to lose. Prenup, wise to get one.
