Should couples have a prenuptial agreement before they get married?

Prenuptial agreement has its advantages and disadvantages. It also depends on the cultural background of the couple because there are some cultures who frowned upon this especially those countries where there is no divorce. But every couple has its own choices and priorities.

For the case of your friend I think it would be best for her to have a prenuptial agreement considering she had a bad divorce experience. These are the advantages of having a prenuptial agreement: 1. It serves to protect a lot of things like children from previous marriage because you can specify how the properties will be distributed.

You can also protect your assets from greedy hands in case you die suddenly. If you have business, this agreement can protect your business too. And it also protect you from your partner-to-be's creditors because this ensure that your properties are separated and kept away even after your divorce or death.2.

This agreement will help you avoid a very expensive divorce proceeding since the distribution of assets will be laid down on paper and will be binding on both sides. 3. This is considered a platform of understanding between both parties since they are able to reach mutually agreeable provisions that are both advantageous to them.It is also a sign that bot respect each other.

4. This agreement serves as a back up plan just in case you and your partner are not destined to live with each other. If you and your partner decided to quit then this agreement will give you peace of mind just in case you decide to really get a divorce.

I think it depends on the couple, their assets, and if they have children from previous relationships. Generally speaking it's the partner with more money that pushes for the document which means they are often written in a manner very adversarial to the financially weaker partner. I think in the effort to even the playing field the weaker partner should insist on wording to the effect that if the richer partner ends the relationship due to an affair the weaker partner takes all.

You know what I mean? If the poorer person is the one who cheats, I can see how the one with the assets would want to protect them, that doesn't seem unreasonable. The best time to hammer out a protective clause like that is when everyone is feeling warm and fuzzy.

A prenup is wise. Unfortunately not every marriage ends up like a fairy tale. When a breakup happens you want to make sure to minimize the damage and ensure fair treatment of both persons.

Essential if they don't actually love each other, irrelevant if they do.

I believe it is up to the couple and their financial status, being the financial status belongs to either the female or the male. For a regular person like me no pre-nip was required as we believed what mine is yours and what's yours is mine. If anyone enters into a prenuptuial agreement I would suggest reading every line word for word, even the fine print before signing it.

I however do not believe in prenups, I believe they are a meams of protection from divorce, which can be taken as a sign that maybe the one suggesting the prenup is not in it for the long haul. You can call me old school but I believe once married, always married. I believe in the sanctaty of marriage and all it stands for.

Hope this helps answer your question.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
