| Would you sign a prenuptial agreement?
Posted: 9/17/2009 11:11:21 AM | Getting married without a pre-nup is like casual sex without condoms...statistics suggest you're gonna regret it.
I will not ever marry again unless she signs a pre nup for both financials and future children. Saying you're trustworthy doesn't mean a damn thing 6 years and two kids down the road if you find out that the guy you haven't given it too in over 6 months (unless there's something medical, there's just no excuse for that level of manipulation) is secretly getting some on the side from your best friend. The system is far too biased toward women, especially pertaining to child custody for any man to be foolish enough to get married without some form of legal protection. Seriously men...if you want children make sure she signs something before hand because you absoloutely cannot trust the system to protect your rights and interests later on...I assure you. | |

Posted: 9/18/2009 1:33:56 AM | laws are not only different between parts of canada and parts of the usa, they also evolve at "different" rates within the states and i believe vary across canada as well. when i was in college, eons ago, i kept my surname. two marriages later, still have it. my second ex from scotland had to explain all this to his father. he brought his girlfriend along to the states, who spent the next hour muttering how she should have kept her name. she loved her deceased husband, but her name was much nicer.
well, it had nothing to do with nice sounding names back then. while i was in college, there were still states with property rights where once married a woman automatically gave up "her" property and in so doing became property so to speak of the husband by taking his name. in fact, it was texas where a woman could not own her own business w/o marital intervention. i believe it was the last state to forego this tradition. nowadays you have choice as to what name you carry w/o property rights built into the deal, but cannot choose both options as it could lead to "tax fraud".
well, a lot has happened over 40 years! but, if the example of the first prenup is correct-- that it was to protect a woman's property-- then it was probably in the context that back then she had NO property rights. here in CA, i know many men whose rights were honored in divorce and included equal say in the future childraising of their family. other states this is a "no go" and of course, different judges have different takes. some are on the take!
again, laws must be contiually challenged to reflect the times and the possiblities for adaptation and equity. in the meanwhile, i would not have a knee jerk reaction to anyone's opinion until it was talked out thoroughly and the concerns of both parties addressed! | |

Me: I am all for them!
