Lately I've heard talk of this more in circles of my friends, and trying to broaden my perspectives & understandings more of how others feel about such.
So here are a few questions:
1. How important is this to you in a REmarriage? Deal-breaker if one insists on? Deal-breaker if you cannot get a pre-nupt? In general how do you feel about having a pre-nuptial agreement?
2. How would you insist on structuring a pre-nupt?
3. Say you both have kids, how would this pre-nupt be done to protect your kids / their kids regarding your / their assets & inheritances?
4. How long would you have to be REmarried before you felt like most of your / partner's assets should go to each other in the event of death?
Thanks in advance. Will anticipate with interest the responses.

Hi there High Flight,
I am not from the USA so even though we are married with a pre-nup I dont want to give you the information I gathered when we did ours. Also it was our first marriage and no kids are involved. But what I can really recommend is to find a good lawyer that can advise you. Ours was brilliant. It was not just about drawing up the documents. At the end of the day if something does happen in our marriage we both need to be protected and I honestly see it as a show of love and affection from my husband (the pre-nup was both our ideas) because he has made sure that I will always be taken care of. Unfortunately, as is only so obvious on this website, when spouses decide they want out they are not the same loving person we married. My husband saw his parents go through a horrific divorce and his mother was left was almost nothing. His father was leaving her for another woman.
I am sure you can find someone that has experience with how these are drawn up.
Best of luck,
Huntress

For me, it would depend on assets and heirs. I have no problem with pre-nups when it comes to protecting business and children, but one designed solely for the event of divorce? I might have a problem with that. Like, say a man wants me to sell my home and move in with him, but wants me to sign a pre-nup saying I have no rights to our marital home, I'd have a problem. But if a man had a business and a partner and wanted me to sign a pre-nup saying I had no interest in the business, so long as he didn't expect me to contribute to the business, I'd be okay with that. Also okay with pre-nups protecting children from previous marriages.
2. How would you insist on structuring a pre-nupt?
heh, I think I covered that above.
3. Say you both have kids, how would this pre-nupt be done to protect your kids / their kids regarding your / their assets & inheritances?
also covered.
4. How long would you have to be REmarried before you felt like most of your / partner's assets should go to each other in the event of death?
Long enough to mutually agree to do away with the pre-nup, lol.
Thanks in advance. Will anticipate with interest the responses.
