The "Real talk Question" is posted daily on facebook by my wife Tabby. I will post my answer here as well in case I desire to speak more freely. Wednesdays question:
What do you think of prenuptial agreements?Are prenups a necessary contract to protect individual wealth, or a selfish legal move that focuses on the money, instead of love? ...
I would think most people trust the other person when they are about to get married. Trust can be gained and lost. Like "I used to trust you but then you cheated on me, or ran up the credit cards, or started smokin' crack...." By then it's too late and this crack head is getting half your loot.I don't think it should be looked at as matter of trust, just an addendum to the existing marriage contract. In fact, the marriage license is a prenup. When we sign the marriage license it is a contract and defines a certain division of assets. The prenup just defines circumstances where those assets will be divided differently. Of course I wouldn't sign anything that seemed unfair, but otherwise I wouldn't care. Nobody will want to see this document or your marriage license until either there is a divorce or one of you dies.
