Do you believe that Pre-nuptual agreements are a good idea???

with all that my spouse is putting me through with this divorce I am thinking they are a darn good idea.  I don't live in a State where everything is automatically split in two...and without an agreement your soon to be X can drag you through mud-over and over and over again.


I used to think they weren't a good idea- they defied "trust" and were "unnecessary" WRONG

Hi Swamy Doo... I live in a province where things are supposed to be split down the middle but I still found myself being dragged through the mud and in the end I just threw my hands up and walked away.  I still suffer with anxiety attacks which really started when the separation began.


I think they are a good idea especially when there is no law in place to split things down the middle.  I had a friend that couldn't take the bickering back and forth and was convinced she had no rights what so ever because her abusive husband told her she didn't and she killed herself.  She couldn't go through with the divorce.

doolittle Thanks Fishy- I am so sorry about your friend!
Fishlet I am too. She wouldn't listen to anyone.
lambshank no bickering with me, just a verbal agreement that I have lived to regret

I believe it should be incorporated into the marriage process, then no one would be taken advantage of later on, and it would preclude opportunists. If a person marries for the right reason, what would they have to fear?

I once would have said absolutely not, trust should suffice with the one you love, however in hindsight I would have to say in some circumstance yes, wish I had

It's a good idea, but a lawyer told my sister that they can still be challenged.

ABSOLUTELY,  there are to many people out to (get one over on the naive.) To many takers out there taking advantage of trusting people. It's a sad thing when money and possessions become more important to someone than love and a long-term relationship. Till death do us part doesn't have the same meaning anymore.

doolittle The first sentence defines my spouse. The second one describes me. Of course my spouses god is apparently $.
leeroy LOl, sorry to hear that dolittle. Money is important, but It's definitely not everything.
