Yes. I think everyone should sign a prenup. No one goes into marriage thinking they’ll get divorced but over half of marriages end that way. I’d rather decide when I’m happy and in love how I’d amicably want to end things should the marriage fall apart. Tbh as a child of a very messy divorce I’ve seen how it can tear a family apart and a prenup could help a lot of that arguing at the end.
Yes. We both have assets from our lives before we met as well as eventual assets from our parents. It protects us both.
Prenups are useful in eliminating potential conflicts in the event of a divorce. Most often my clients are protecting inheritances by way of a prenup, so they are more akin to advanced estate planning. It’s also a good barometer of the maturity of a relationship - if you are getting married to each other you should be able to talk about finances in an open and honest manner.
I'm not sure. I got divorced without a lawyer or prenup because we were able to agree and discuss everything on our own. I trusted him and he trusted me to do the right thing.
Not sure if ill ever get married again but that level of trust is what I'd need.
Yes. And it’s a good idea. We actually discussed it and then ended up not doing it and sort of vaguely agreed to be fair to each other if we ever divorced. (Classic case of attorneys not following their own advice.)

Yeah just make sure you have a lawyer look through it super well
I can’t remember where I heard it, but I think this is the best advice on the matter: all marriages have a “prenup”. Either you decide what it is as a couple, or the courts decide for you. I’d rather the former.
If you approach it with that logic, then the awkwardness of feeling like you’re planning for a divorce goes away. I don’t plan on crashing my car, but my passengers and I wear seatbelts just the same.
Technically yes. My wife has way more assets than I’ll ever have 😂. We didn’t like the idea of a prenup because it meant there’s always “that” option. We have a rule to never even say the word divorce in the house. Anyway if that time ever comes I can’t imagine it would be a nasty divorce. Still... I don’t have a whole lot to lose. Hopefully that never happens anyway
Yes. I have collectables from my hobby and I would be crushed if they were used as a tool against me in a divorce
Nope but only because neither of us has any real cash/inheritance to protect so my SO would have to be paranoid as hell
All of what A1 said plus debts going into marriage.
Yes - at least Bc that means you all can rationally discuss finances. For us, it wasn’t even that much / the house was under his name and I got “credit” for rent for the entire time pre marriage and noted what we had in accounts at that point in time. Now we are at a point with a kid, post— successful exit of a company he founded and just bought another new house under both of our names.
