I married very well but was also a lawyer, so didn’t mind. I made sure to put in provisions to take care of any children we had and also anything we built after the marriage.
My husband had generations of wealth and property to protect and I wasn’t looking to take anything from him or his family. I really didn’t mind.
Both my husband and I brought assets to our marriage, it was just common sense to have a prenup to protect those since they are generational. We also put in provisions which included any assets we acquire together during the course of our marriage, which would be split accordingly and provisions in case of death.
Neither of us regrets it.
It was initiated by me and signed by both my husband and I. The general overview is I leave with what is mine, he leaves with what is his, I will not pay alimony, and our only joint asset (one bank account) is split down the middle. Granted, there are some finer details like I will pay up to $10k a month in living expenses for him for the first year post divorce and there is an arbitration clause. Pretty cut and dry for the most part. This was fairly easy to do as we maintain our personal assets solely (cars in the respective owner’s name, houses in the name of the purchaser (I bought our “main” house but he bought our beach house) and so forth. I still feel great about it!
My husband and I have been together since I was 19 and he was 22, were together for 10 years before we got married any how so I think it’s pretty fair. I will say my husband did not like the idea of it when I brought it to attention at first before we married but it was a non-negotiable for me so 🤷‍♀️ He felt it was like saying our marriage was going to fail whereas I felt like it was just a piece of paper IN CASE things didn’t work out – not an omen on the nuptials lol
I instigated it, we had discussed it prior to me engaging with a solicitor so my wife knew what was included.
I wouldn’t have gotten married without it.
