    YES! You might not have anything now, but down the road you could.

    Should you decide to divorce (and let's hope that you are one of those who stay married forever) this could save you from lots of ugliness.

    Of course, if you're in a community property state like CA, your spouse will automatically get half.

    I agree one hundred% with the guy, there is not any way that i'd signal a prenuptial contract. a wedding ceremony is according to trust and to have those suggestions formerly even marrying is disgusting, i imagine the guy ought to search for a respectable woman not someone who's of route in contact extra about funds, which by the fashion she hasn't worked for - she purely exceeded off to have a rich grandfather. She feels like the gold digger.

    Unless you are expecting a big inheritance or expect to earn mega bucks during the marriage, there is absolutely no point. If you live in a common property state, all things earned or acquired during the marriage will be considered joint assets and will be split 50/50. If you don't already have anything to say is yours, why would you need to protect it?

    No, a prenup is a document that really test a relationship and if you don't need it then there is no reason to put that strain on the relationship. Trust is a big part in a relationship and a prenup is saying that you don't have trust. Yes thing can always change but for now I would say no.

    You have nothing of value, except the love you hold in your heart.

    If both have no trust in each other, then why marry? Never lie, never cheat, be honest. Prenuptial agreements are for the rich and stupid, you are neither.

    If you are already thinking about this you must have something valuable you need to keep hold of and haven't mentioned.

    A good Solicitor / law company should be able to discuss this with you (look for one with free drop in sessions) but generally if you have no assets and are not planning to gain millions of pounds/dollars it's not really worth it.

    Prenups are usually (easily) enforceable for the first few years.

    Then it becomes a nightmare where the lawyers use up your money to decide who made what and who contributed what. It's far better to make it work. OR, be adults and agree to divide everything in half if it doesn't work.

    No . If either of you had things to begin with maybe but not since you are starting out with nothing . My husband and I didn't own anything when we got together so a prenup wasn't even an issue for us !

    No, a prenup is for a rich person that doesn't want a man or woman to marry them for the money and then soon-thereafter divorce them and get half of their money.

    I'd say no, but if you think that you are miraculously going to win the lottery sometime during this marriage, then yes, you should!!!
