I would sign it as Im marrying HIM not what he owns or how much money he has or doesnt have....but it should be fair that he doesnt get anything I owned prior to the marriage including any pensions etc lol It has to be fair and equal for both parties....

i was raised a little different... a simple rule to know who has what.... whats hers is hers, whats mine is hers. ,,,,, simple
teddybeerke88: to me this would seem as if 1 is already thinking about leaving.. don't think you should get married in this case.. you could just live together.
I would have a pre-nup. It is not because I would be thinking of leaving. Facts have to be faced. A huge percentage of marriages fail and definitely mroe than 50% of 2nd marriages do.
I would never marry unless I intended it to be for life, however, I am a realist.
pisces.. The way I see it, If you already keep in mind that it will most likely fail... that is the main reason why it will fail.. So no point in getting married then. You could just deside to live together in that case.

Does that apply to his or her bills too. What is he/she accumulates credit card debt during the marriage. Is the court going to say he should pay her credit card debt or his fancy car debt? It's not only about the positive side of wealth. Who gets the dog?

still simple.... i have verry few bills.... ileft my dog with my last gf to protect her.. and if she wants my credit cards along with the items we buy together, then she can have the bills to.... she gets the items she wants, then she can pay for them too. thats why i am verry careful about what kind of future wife i chose.... money can not be the main part of the relationship. trust, friendsip, understanding, love, faith in eachother have to be held far above money or the relationship will fail before it even begins.
weell... i supported both my ex's who brought pretty much no assets to the relationship. looking back, it would of served me well to have a prenuptial agreement in place. when i was young, i didn't worry about those kinds of things...but now that i am much older, and have had to start over a couple times..i know how difficult it is and the hardships involved, as well, i don't have enough working years left to start over again..soooo....not sure what i would actually do.
Pre-nups are possible in Germany, whatever a person has before tying the not it's theirs, whatever is accumulated during the marriage is split in half. I wouldn't want to marry someone without a pre-nup. Pre-nups in Ireland at present have no express force in law though.

wow!! didn't know that.... my ex wife is german,, that kind of explains the simple devorce. no drama.

I think it makes sense, few break-ups are rational, to have an agreement in place beforehand helps not to try to hurt each other financially. I might have to add, a pre-nup in Germany doesn't have any impact on child support or maintenance for your ex-partner - there is a "list" of how much has to be paid.
I do not know one person here who has one or for that matter even think of having one, it just isnt the done thing here. Personally I have no intention of getting married again so makes no difference.

I know plenty of people in Ireland who are hesitating to marry because of not being able to sign a pre-nup. I do think it makes sense if you are self-employed and own e. g. a farm or a business.
I know plenty of people in Germany who didn't have a pre-nup and regretted that, it becomes more and more common if you own something. I don't know if I ever marry, but if I do, I would want to sign one.
Prenup's have their place and serve their purpose but I would not want to think about signing one. I would like think I was bringing in as much to a relationship as her. I agree with Jono that when we are at our age,the thought of having to start over again is something to think about.I would rather concentrate on spending the rest of my like making my partner happy than wondering about what I would lose should it not work out.

Really, I dont know one person like that, I dont think its in the phsycy here, If and that a very big IF I ever thought to get married again it would be over if he asked me to sign one.

You actually do not know me. I DID say I would only go into a marriage if I intended it to be forever. However, it is naive to ignore statistics.
In mY country, if you 'just reside together' you can still lose everything unless you sign a cohabitation agreement which is the same as a pre-nup.

As I said, I know plenty of people for who this is a problem (people who have some sort of business). I know that a lot of people who are not self-employed have a similar attitude to you.
I saw enough divorces to know it's better to sort some things beforehand and I would do it. What other people do in this regard is none of my business.

Why did you have to say it twice? You know people who would like to be able to I dont know any, simple really.
Took me 5 years to pay off the debt my ex left behind him and over 6 grand for his funeral so I know what its like.

Yes Glatlol, it's simple. You just said that you don't know any here in Ireland, I said I do.
Sorry to hear about your own experiences. I know plenty of people with bad experiences as well, that's why I said I wouldn't want to marry someone without a pre-nup. If someone else has other ideas, best of luck, each to their own.
