Default Prenup or Not

I've heard a lot of people, mostly people with lots of money, say that they want a prenup, but isn't that a little like saying that you don't trust that person? What would you do? Would you get a prenup before you got married?

Are you referring to prenuptial? What do you mean by "... but isn't that a little like saying you don't trust that person?". What is the connection with that in a prenuptial? Anyway, activities before the big day is fine for as long as you have the budget. It is a celebration for the last day of being single. It's fun.

Yes, I'm referring to a prenuptial. When you get a prenup, you make a clear distinction about who had what prior to the marriage in case the two decide to get a divorce. I wonder if getting a prenup makes divorce a more likely thing to happen.

I don't think that a prenup makes a divorce inevitable.

My son was in an accident long ago and he will be getting a settlement soon. He will be getting lots of money! I think that he should have got a prenup before he was married. This money he is getting is for him when he is older incase he has to have more surgeries or get hearing aides. From his accident he can't hear out of one ear.

He didn't get a prenup and it was his decision.

I think that it is ok to cover yourself just incase the marriage doesn't work out.

I think when you have a prenup, it means you have reservations regarding your spouse-to-be. It's like you're certain that you're going to get a divorce after a few years. I wouldn't want to be in this situation.

At first, I was thinking that it would be a good idea to get one, but I think that would be just plain selfish of me. I don't think that's a good way to begin a marriage, and I wouldn't want my future husband to do that with me.

I think it is a great idea. Regardless of how deep our feelings go for our spouses, we should never ignore the possibility of things getting bad one day. It is best to cover one's behind no matter how selfish it looks. We might feel a little bad about doing it, but who's going to take care of us when if we had to separate and lose everything at the same time? I would definitely go for it.
