The case is here in Canada a Mariage contract is a pre-nuptial agreement. I don't know maybe in States your Law separated it in a wee more complicated versions.



So let's talk about both

A pre-nup wasn't something I would have even understood when I got married many years ago and until relatively recently were for very wealthy people.

Nowadays it is becoming more common because people marry at an older age when they may have accumulated a little wealth.

Yes, people say it takes the romance out of a potential long-term relationship and I agree with that to some extent, but I can't avoid emotion as you requested in the OP Marina, I have a daughter in her late twenties who has a very well paid job, her own house and of late, seems only to meet users.

I would prefer that she protects her financial interests which she works and struggles hard for. Why should an unemployed man without a home take half of what my daughter has if it came to a divorce after a short time? I truly have no problem with her being with and loving a man in this unfortunate position, but I would mind if she lost what she has worked for and ended up alone and without her own home.

I think you will find easy

Jan ... my Dear Jan ...what i meant about to leave all emotions aside ... is ... because when people in Love they think there is no way that they will get divorced ... ever. Thus they feel like if they will sing a pre-nup they will ruin the feeling of trust or whatever they feel at that moment for each other. Silly huh?

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen...

I have this very important thread up,

which needs your personal attention,

an your kind vote as well as action thereafter

Its called: Lets burst his flower-box ....

What on earth is going on, Uli??? It seems every thread I look at contains this post of yours...??

Are you okay??

I am not sure how a feel about a marriage contract. I always felt marriage was forever and that you would not need one, but after two failed ones I don't know. Would have to think more about this if it was brought up to me.

So you still want me?

Yeah I need another worker for my wall...seems one of them got buried in the avalanche last night!!!!!!!

i think that whatever you had b4 the marriage is yours anything you make together during the marrriage is ours.

What happened to the saying what is mine is yours and what is yours is mine.

You misquoted. It goes like this:

What's yours is mine and whats mine is mine.

Seriously though, I would like to see a law in every state and province mandating a pre-nup as part of the marriage license. This would totally remove any hurt feelings and potential damage to a budding relationship and remove a very big burden from the courts. With a divorce rate around 50% it just makes sense to define "pre-marital assets" so that niether party can take the other to the cleaners.

This is a very important topic and a big departure from the normal crap I see filling this site lately.

agreed!
I sure as hell wouldn't get married again without one, But I also wouldn't let a gal move in without a sim. agreement.
I've just had too much of my stuff walk off to not protect myself.
But then I also have a living will and POA filled out.

For those that think I'm too tough about it, Let someone take everything you have and see how fast you change your tune!

I do agree what you have before the marriage should not be divided in case of a divorce, just what you gained during the marriage. Just the sound of it is what I do not like, it is like he would not trust me not to wipe him out. It is a good idea that it would be part of the marriage licience that way no one gets their feeling hurt.

I thought that what he had before the marriage you were not allowed to have anyway, that is what I was told when I got my divorce. My ex owned 3 farms plus the house in the city. I was only allowed half of the city house as the farms were only in his name and he had them when we met. W had bought a mobile home to put on one of the farms for me and the kids and I was not allowed part of it as it was part of the farm.

Absolutely!

Even if she finds someone who loves her dearly, his love for have nothing to do with her past achievements and wealth. I think it should stay that way during the marriage and afterworlds if it ends.

I dated a girl for 5 years who insisted on this sort of thing, but when my companies rolled big she got jealous and angry, after the break up I gave $12500. canadian to her to go and buy a car, she came back and threw it in my face, a year later she met some guy who she let use the car and he threw it in my face.... I left town

I had to really think about this one... cause the romantic in me does not want to make any concessions...

On a personal level I think they are a cynical indictment on the institution of marriage.. but on a practical level they can serve a useful purpose... as long as separation and divorce exist there is a place for them..

e.g they can be a useful aid to settlement and negotiation of terms..and save a lot of protracted hassle...

Don't like them, but have to reluctantly agree with their usefulness

lusious.....why did I think you had a man???
