| To Pre-nup Or Not To Pre-nup? by topup: 5:05am On Apr 08, 2009 |
I know a friend who is adamant that she has to sign a pre-nup before she agrees to marry her man. Now, I know this has been brought to life by american tv, but it exists?? Are you prepared to sign documents to 'cover yourself' in case of a divorce or do you think it's setting yourself up for failure?? My friend views it as an 'in case' type of idea, like an insurance, but my response was; 'accidents are inevitable', whilst divorces are not. If an accident is going to happen, it is going to happen, yet a couple can choose to give up on their marriage. She believed I was being silly not to sign one, and if I ever found myself in a position where I had to get a divorce that I would wish I got a pre-nup. This is exactly my point, the pre-nup sounds so sensible and rational, it almost makes the idea of a divorce become more of a reality, it makes it that much more tangible, whislt right now, in my fairytale world (as I was told by her) - I'd rather like to believe that divorce is out of the question. Opinions?? |

I see pre nup as one easy way out for the guys not wanting to work on thier relationship in case of future mishaps. So in the case of me making more money than the guy would you want to sign a prenup someone once asked me to sign a prenup so we can get married. i was upset.but as i look back now i dont blame the poor guy he just was thinking about himself alone and how to keep his money.the only condition he gave for me not to sign a prenup is if i make alot of money than he does. If you ever want to sign a prenup just make sure that its equal and if you are guy that loves his kid i would make the prenup atleast 60-40. if a girl is not working dont ever sign a prenup it will be used against you. As for me now i am equipping myself so that pre nup or no prenup i can take care of myself, lol gud luk, |

I don't care, one way or the other. I am setting myself up as well so I can take care of myself regardless. |

If a chick gets a sh*t-hot lawyer, the Oga best find big lawyer sharp, sharp or she go chop money from here to the grave. Pre-nup is as good/bad as your lawyer makes it. Simples! |

topup: Your friend has been influenced by the american media and I seriously pity her if she is a nigerian because if she raises that here in nigeria her senility will be questioned. I mean, why would she even raise the issue of a pre-nup before marriage? Or does she harbour the thoughts of divorce as the suffix to the union? |

Definite pre-nups done at least a few weeks with video coverage, so no one comes up later wt ' under duress' claims. Detailed wt who gets what and ensuing child(ren) custody issues. I don't see it as being an easy way out of a messy marriage, but man must to shine eye well well. A girl who's got problems with signing pre-nups (as it remains fair and takes into account punitive measures for the straying partner in the event of gross infidelity) smells like a gold-digger to me and vice- versa. Get it water- tight and applicable in several jurisdictions. |
