| Prenuptial Agreements and Maximum Child Support payment!

Interesting suggestion!!! I bet you have shares in ReProMed..or are you talking from experience?
No just considering using their services prior to vasectomy "just incase". My crystal ball is in the shop, so some form of insurance to cover situations I don't now foresee before taking permanent and usually irreversible steps seems wise. | |

| Prenuptial Agreements and Maximum Child Support payment!
Posted: 9/30/2008 6:55:04 AM | | I cannot understand why 2 people who supposedly love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together, would even worry about a prenup or max child support payment. Isnt that a sign that you arent really "sure" of the marriage you're fixin' to enter into? Leaving the "just in case" papers out there imo, leads me to think that people really arent that devoted and really dont intend to honor the "for better or for worse" part of their vows. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldnt enter into a marriage where a contract had to be in place. | |

Then chances are, Kixxie, that you'll not ever marry. More and more people are going the route of a prenup these days, and it's good to see. And not surprisingly, they are no longer limited to the "well to do" crowd either. Middle income earners are learning the valuable lesson to protect themselves too.
It baffles me to still see, in this day and age, so many women balking at prenups based off the premise of "you're dooming it before it begins"/"you're planning for it to fail" mentality. With that kind of mentality, the word/term insurance wouldn't exist at all, anywhere globally, effectively ending that sector forever. You don't own a home without it...you don't own a car without it...most have some form of life insurance...most would get traveller's insurance...but say the word "prenup" and women's buttholes pucker up faster than you can blink. You didn't get homeowner's insurance expecting your home to vanish or blow up...you didn't get car insurance expecting you'd get into an accident (let's assume insurance was truly optional there)...you didn't take that trip expecting to fall from the sky or get involved in a drive by...a prenup is just marriage insurance. Saying that you're expecting the marriage to fail is preposterous.
If your marriage wasn't about pure monetary/material gain, then why are there so many women that still honk about prenups I wonder? Would you skydive without a parachute? Probably not. But you'd expect to get involved in a marriage where you'd effectively jump out of a plane without a parachute?
I'd imagine that if the court systems were equitable for both sexes, then chances are you'd see less of an inclination for prenups at all, but since that is less and less the case, and we see more and more weekly this guy and that guy gettin' financially raped by the courts, is it any small wonder why so many men are going the extra steps to get a prenup in place?
Like American Express made famous, "Never leave home without it", that's my philosophy for a prenup, "Never walk down the aisle without it".

You are absolutely right about this. If it is really "for better or for worse" then I see no reason why the woman should balk at pre-nup. I sure hope the OP's friend cover all bases before walking down the aisle.
Its always about love in the beginning...but ALWAYS ends with $$$$$$! | |

Posted: 10/5/2008 4:29:10 PM | I am a custodial parent, who lives in Texas with my daughter. My understanding of child support that I got from the attorney generals office; child support division is this.
The cp is indeed for the child, it also assists us to live in a modest home that heat and a/c, cabel tv (just two tv's tho) food, health care/insurance, car insurance for her @$100.00 month ,and her cell phone bill, school lunches, cloathes (she has a lot.) All this for $500.00 a month.
The dad's who complain that it just be handed over to the kid really do not have a clue of what it really takes to raise a child.
Just my thoughts on this post. | |
