Women do you think prenups are unfair?

Question

What if a guy made approx 10 times the money his possible future wife makes, does she deserve to split it 50/50 in case of divorce? Would you marry a guy if he insisted on a prenup? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Prenups are very fair. Why should a person give up half their stuff because they want to marry?

Answer 2

Yes,I think the money should be split especially if she has stayed at home and done most of the child raising etc so he could make that good money

Well,based on no kids than it would depend on if it was evend that the future wife is a gold digger.For instance if the male is 50 and the female is 20 than ye sI could see that

Answer 3

I wouldn’t think a  prenup is unfair exactly. If my husband to be had serious amounts of money, I’d have to say I’d be a bit peeved that he wanted a prenup, but given how DIRTY women can be, I’d say I can very much understand why. In most states, you can get half your spouses’ estate. And well, if that spouse was married for a whopping 45 days or a year and the man with money worked YEARS to make all the money he had, how fair would that be for her to walk away with half a million just because she married the guy?

So I understand prenups completely, I can’t say I blame a person for wanting one. But it would be odd to me if he asked, but it wouldn’t be unfair persay! If the tables were turned and I was the sugar momma, I wouldn’t want my spouse to marry me for just my money. And a prenup is the only way to make sure that’s not happening…

Since marriege is a business, at least that is what the courts sees it!  Its a good idea!!   That's how the lawyers see it too.   half of a business!   I personally don't like most laws, about marriege.  been there , done that.   I prefer a prenup.   You can always go back and amend it.   Have a lawyer talk to you!   go spend 50 dollars and find out.    There are many ways you can hide cash.  This is advice for women too, that has lots of money...and not just for men only.   Women get taken too.         think it out!!

Answer 5

I do beleive in a prenup...you came in with what you had, you leave with what you had... BUT i will make some clauses for example if there is infidelity on his part, i get A LOT of money! I'm not risking geting an STD without a danm fight!

another thing...if she was working and he insisted on her to be a stay at home mom, then that's 50/50

Answer 6

If a person is marrying for the money, expect a prenup. Duh. Im pretty sure your partner is gonna know the 20yr age difference and shopping 24/7 with THEIR money kinda shows you don't want them, you want their bank account. Then there are the people who actually love each other, and in that case in my opinion, no matter who makes how much, prenups shouldn't be involved. If you cant trust someone with your money, why would you marry them??

Answer 7

No kids at all i don't think the wife should be able to get more then she came in with...Yeah i would marry someone if they made me sign a prenup...If they bought things together in their marriage then they should split things..and I think if a women is a house wife then thats the ONLY time the man should have to pay her ANY kind of Spousal maintnence because she has Nothing except what he has

Answer 8

I have no problem with the idea of a prenup if a person has considerable assets, or has good reason to anticipate that they will.  The terms should, of course, be reasonable. I wouldn't have a problem signing one at all.  But... if you think it's tough to get a woman to sign a prenup, you should see how few men would be willing to do the same.  Honestly, I wouldn't marry again without a prenup.  I've been told that I'm nuts by more than one person, family members included.  It doesn't matter to me.  All that matters is that a couple is comfortable with the situation between the two of them.

Answer 9

i think prenups are perfectly fair . and since there are no kids involved there is no reason she should need any of your money after you get divorced. i would want a prenup if i was the one with the money so why shouldn't you be able to ask for one?  and it doesn't change anything in the marriage it just changes things if something should happen to go wrong and you get a divorce.... just my opinion i know alot of people wont agree ....... if she really loves you then she shouldn't care about the money end of story  

Answer 10

I think the man has the right to protect his assets, God knows he earned them, and the woman may have nothing and just walk into his hard earned money. I would sign one with a proviso or two though, don't want to be left completely high and dry, but these settlements, e.g, McCartney and another celeb are just insanity.

Answer 11

If their are no kids and there will never be any kids than yes a prenup is fine. there is no reason why a man should have to split 50/50 his hard earned money with a woman that has no children with him and can work and make her own money. Just because he makes alot more doesn't mean she will be unable to support herself in the future.  

Answer 12

I personally would like a prenup... i don't think there is anything wrong with it unless your a gold digger.  

Answer 13

I would not marry a man if he insisted on a prenup.  Marriage isnt supposed to be about money.  A prenup says I will marry you forever unless I divorce you.

Answer 14

I don't think their unfair BUT I personally would not sign one. If someone I loved had asked me to sign one in my eyes he's expecting it to fail b4 it begins. I want to know he trusts me cuz I can tell u now I am not one to s***w someone over... why? Cuz karma is a b*tch and she'll come back to haunt me! So, no, I would not sign one and I would not be marrying the man that asked me too!

Answer 15

If it was me, I'd see what he wanted in the prenup, before I got upset about it.  Read it through with a lawyer, then decide if you want to sign, and if you want to marry him after all.  Maybe he's just worried you're a gold-digger and a good actress.  

Here's an idea about how much you should get, if you do divorce.  Have the percentage be tied to how long you were married.  For instance, 1 year, you get 10%.  2 years you get 20%, and so on.  And, hey, you'd only have to be married to him for 10 years, using my system, to get everything he's got.  

But it does seem to me that if you need a prenup, there isn't enough trust in the relationship to get married in the first place.  

I guess I should feel sorry for rich people.  Us poor people don't have to worry about such things.

Answer 16

I don't think they are unfair but I think they help people make bad choices because if you don't trust the person you shouldn't marry them in the first place and this contract basically is saying ok I don't trust you but I'm going to give you a shot because you can't do but so much damage.

Answer 17

No i don't think pre-nups are unfair.  I think they're a good idea.  Why should one person work hard throughout their life and make good money and then have to give 50% of it to the person who didn't work so hard or sat around on their butt all day?

Answer 18

I think you should get out of a marriage exactly what you put in and nothing more. I would marry a guy even if he asked me to sign a pre-nup because I know I have money on the side for myself If god forbid it didn't work out...

Answer 19

A prenup is a legal document to protect the persons money/property so it goes where he/she wants to, so someone doesn't walk away with a lot of loot they never worked for.  Nothing wrong with that, especially in second marriages.

Answer 20

I would think that there should be some compromise. If you have a prenup then there is the thought that marriage is temporary. I think in this specific case I'd work it out so that after certain time marks the money would be split with a little more at each mark going to the party that brought less to the table. Does she deserve it? If that's how you are looking at it find someone with equal or more to marry.
