    I would ask your fiance to see how she reacts to it. You WERE married prior, therefore would have an idea about any protection(s) you just may need. I had a prenup with my last ex husband to "protect" a large settlement from my previous ex husband. However, he ended up being a total "con artist" & caroused me into spending ALLL my money regardless of the prenup I'd gotten. I KNOW it was my full stupidity for doing such as I did, as I ended up loosing EVERY bottom dollar & our marriage too ended in a divorce! How I WISH I'd NOT been so plain stupid in listening to him, I could SOOO badly use that money today as I'm now living on total Soc. Sec.!! My ex ex even paid to have it drawn up for my own protection, but I'd never dealt with a conniving con before & was naive to the whole situation. IF you feel you "need one", I would strongly consider it & she should understand why you're protecting yourself. I know it wouldn't matter to me however as I would fully understand, but again, that's me...the best to you...:)

    Yes. People that say having a prenup is setting the marriage up for failure are full of it. That is like saying buying life insurance is setting you up for early death. Consider the prenup like insurance. Should the unexpected happen, you have protected yourself against the potential misery of a nasty, contentious divorce where usually the only winners are the lawyers.

    BTW, if you are able to get your next wife to agree to a prenup don't forget that it can do more than just protect assets. If you're going to go the trouble and expense of getting one, make sure to include provisions for daily BJ's and doggy.

    I understand since youve been married and divorced why you would consider that but my opinion is that if you really love and trust the new woman in your life then you wouldnt need to worry about that since you would trust that it would last. Im not sure how other woman feel or think but if i was asked by the man i loved and trust for a prenup i would be really hurt that he didnt trust me and that he had that doubt that we wouldnt work out. So my advice, is if you really truely love this woman dont do that or you might put doubt in your relationship.

    You have car insurance, health insurance and life insurances that you hope you never have to use but are grateful for them when you need them. If you have assets then yes you should have a prenup....whether you're divorced or not.

    We have a prenup in our marriage. My husband has a family trust fund and it's required for all of the beneficiaries to have a prenup when they get married. I had no issues with this. That's his family's money and I have no rights to it if we got divorced.

    Hmmm... this came up in my marriage. My husband was previously married and she took SO MUCH from him. I told him I would absolutely sign a prenup! I know what we have is real and there will be no need for it. And if we were to divorce, then we cross that bridge when we get to it. All i cared about was assuring my hubby that what happened before would never happen again. He didn't end up having me sign one, but I definitely would have! We just decided to keep things separate. I don't have access to his account. He just transfers me money when I need it. It works for us, but every situation is different.

    Good luck and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

    do you think you have enough, to need a prenuptial?

    in many places whatever you make while married she will get half when you split, so you better save it up to give to her at the divorce.

    do you trust her enough to sleep with her (marriage) but not enough that you think you need a prenuptial. i would say don't marry her, if you think you need a prenuptial for marriage to her.

    but maybe if the prenuptial will let you sleep better, or with her, than sure, a prenuptial could be worthwhile, but some don't hold water in court, so you may end up paying through the nose anyway.

    The best thing to do is ask your future wife how she feels about it. Not random women on yahoo answers.

    If your first wife took you to the cleaners, then yes, ask for a pre-nup. If she didn't take you to the cleaners, then, yes, ask for a pre-nup anyway. ...I would hate to see you on here in a few years, asking why women are greedy bitches, who are just out for a mans money.

    Yes. If she doesn't do it....drop her.

    Look to Kelsey Grammer, Johnny Carson and Paul McCartney >>> how stupid they didn't learn from past non-compliance with pre-nups.

    if you have asset,s you need to protect, nothing wrong for asking her, if she really love,s you then she,ll sign the paper, nothing wrong with this, your protecting your self, can,t blame you now day,s, at least you,ll find out if she love,s you, in my book, it,s a way, i would if i loved a guy enough i,d sign and would,nt look back, it don,t mean he don,t love me, he,s protecting himself is all, good luck guy!

    Source(s): very sensible thing to do now day,s
