Friskyone: And on the other hand, I may not sign one and just amicably walk away and leave everything to him. Sometimes it's worth losing assets or finances. Assets can be replaced and if the relationship is toxic, he can have everything just to easily leave the relationship. Just food for thought. I'm on the fence on this topic. I would hope things wouldn't get to the point of fighting like a vulture over who gets the silverware. I'm not a greedy person and I am capable of starting over.
there are folks out there who are into self gain and take advantage. it's best to be careful
...having said that.. i'm not sure i would ever get married again. i did the walk away thing from a marriage, and started over. wouldn't want to do that again. i'm in a relationship now and we did more of a handfasting ceremony.
I wouldn´t sign it... And I wouldn´t have my other half sign it... If I felt I have to take so many precautions or protect myself from that person, I would simply not marry him... And if he asked me that, I would advice him to find someone he trusted fully, because to me, that´s a very sad start for a marriage... If you are going to marry anyone its without conditions...

It's not just about trust. I think you are romancing the word trust. There is a legality to it in different states.
You hope the person you marry won't cheat on you but it happens. You need to protect yourself. Suppose you marry him and after the wedding he wins the lottery. Are you going to kick yourself for not signing a prenup?

Remember we live in different countries... I don't even know if prenups can be signed here... And if he wins the lottery, the money would be OURS, just as it would be if I won it... As I said, if I have to take so many precautions, then the man is not worth my love, my soul, my mind, my trust, my body, my time, my life and my signature...

I'm talking about if he wins the lottery after the divorce. It will be his unless she can prove that he bought the ticket while they were married. That can be proven because of the date on the ticket.

The real lottery prize is for him to have a woman like me by his side... Whatever he does after I am gone, I couldn´t care less, money related or not... My parents were married for 50+ years and NEVER did I hear that they had an argument because of money... My father always said to my Mom that her money was hers and his money was THEIRS... And I loved that he was this way...
Cranky_Geezer: Do you always go where you're invited? Is it possible to choose someone that is not looking to ground you into dust and you both are just looking to sensibly protect yourself?
There is at least one wife a week been murdered by her partner here in Australia. In my own family affairs I watched for a year and a half before acting, so no not here in Australia you don't have a choice once the family court ball starts rolling, particularly when kids are involved. The politicians support feminist movements encouragement for wives to stand over husbands (yellow ribbon mother mary crap) Once lawyers become involved the thousand dollar lawyer to lawyer phone call bills turn up

lots of this sought of stuff occurring in this country
Friskyone: Would you be willing to marry someone if they asked you to sign a prenuptial agreement if your partner asked you to?
And for all the men, whom we all know who you are , would you sign one if you WERE NOT the one with the upper hand of having more money than your partner?
Prenuptial agreements is no more a bad idea than taking out an extended warranty on a new product.
For as long as they are crafted in the interest of both parties (and not handled by any single party) then they should offer a degree of peace of mind. Unfortunately I learnt this too late.
its not a very nice event. it is quite troubling that so many like outcomes are result of family court disputes women being killed and children to is far to common here in Australia
