If you can support yourself, why is it an issue? Just sign it. Chances are you're probably be earning more money than him anyway.

wow, i just read this thread. talk about some horrible and ignorant advice.

1) a prenuptial agreement isn't just about what you have now, it's about what you COULD have in the future.

2) if you were to have children and then get a divorce, what would you do? why not just do it and have insurance against any possible event that could happen.

3) you also need a trust and a will. it's part of documentation. it's not just for millionaires, but part of the whole marriage process.

It is extremely foolish to say, "if you think you are going to get a divorce, don't get married." It's not entirely about divorce. If you are paranoid about how bad it sounds, maybe then you shouldn't get married. If you are 100% confident your marriage will last for 70 years, sign the paper and move on. There is nothing to worry about.

A will is especially helpful to those you leave behind.
A will specifying who gets what assets can help keep the family focused without fighting.
You should also specify what funeral arrangements/burial plans you would like to have.

everyone should have a prenup and a will IMO. Putting things in writing can never hurt. If you have no assets to protect with a prenup write up your own and the 2 of you can sign it. Granted it wouldn't hold up against a slick attorney, but if you have very little what's the chances of using an attorney for divorce.

^ it will if it gets notarized. most post offices will notoraize a document for free. just go down and sign in person.

I learned a lot with the current divorce. I was shocked to learn that you can be sued in the divorce for youother halvs attorneys fees. So you might have to pay for the lawyer who's bending you over.

titan22 · 06-26-2008, 04:05 PM

its easy to get something notarized. most banks will do it to.

briansol · 06-26-2008, 05:08 PM

yup. I 100% will be getting one should the day arise. I have far too much to lose, and 98% of women are gold diggers.
If she won't sign it, that just proves to me more that she's not worth keeping.
