Pre-nup?

[350DRIVER]

Very interesting Primetime on ABC pertaining to a pretty ugly divorce. Why is it that the women in a divorce gets so much when she didn't earn any of it.??

Anyone have a pre-nup agreement.? Any comments, feelings, opinions, etc, etc, .... Just seems like if you got a lot of money then a pre-nup should be a must since you never know what lies ahead.....

He should subract some $ for whatever that rack cost.

The better looking they are then I guess the more they are going to cost. She seems like nothing more than a gold digger who is money hungry..

Why get married if you think there's a chance she might bail on you (or catch you cheating) and take your savings? Nothing says "this marriage is going down the $hitter before it even starts" like a prenup. Just know the girl you're going to marry really well and you won't get screwed.

Why not be "safe" than end up being "sorry" in the end. Perfect example was the show tonight. She did nothing and ended up getting one he!! of a lot of money when the divorce came. You never know what the future has in store for you...

You never got engaged to a career chick that owned her own home. With the chicks, the pre-nup is the first thing you sign after they tell you what ring to pick out and what knee you better be kneeling on when you beg them to marry you.

My wife and I will probably never split...but should we, when the gun safe is opened up by court order...all that will be left in there will a Century International Arms CETME and some dust.

18 seconds to impact?

the george peppard line? what movie was that?

 

[WrightAvia]

Actually no movie on that one. I was trying to find an avatar that fit an aspect of my personal life. Found a picture of a skydivers altimeter on a web cataloge of skydiver gear. I was looking for one that had the hands at right about the place where jumpers are thinking about tracking and deploying.

The 18 seconds comes from the fact that in free fall you go through a thousand feet every 6 seconds. I know the math is off a bit, but who's counting. (that IS a pun)

 

[350DRIVER]

I just tend to think that it would be the smart thing to do although I have always thought that it was better to be safe than sorry no matter what... Love can fade and lotsa money could also change hands and I wouldn't wanna "donate" money to someone that shouldn't be getting alot of it.... Just seems like the successful men will take no chances just in case all he!! breaks loose... Does her family look down on you or does she ask any questions?

That's what I'm getting at 350...if the woman has the cash, you'll be looking at signing a pre-nup.

How often do you suppose this is initiated on behalf of the woman's doing.? Most of the pre-nup's I have seen or heard about are done by the man... Guess it could go both ways though.

You guys are gonna piss off Generaltso...

(On the other hand, considering the number of airline captains who've been through multiple divorces, maybe this is aviation related...)

You have car insurance don't you? You aren't planning on crashing your car tomorrow are you? There's ALWAYS a chance of something unforseen. If you can't make that clear to your prospective ex-wife, then do the right thing and DTB!

Just know the girl you're going to marry really well and you won't get screwed. [/B]

You sir, are stoned.



If I announce an engagement, someone please pull my head out of my arse because certainly it must be firmly planted in said orifice.

I tend to stay clear from these threads, but what the heck....I'll bite.

No offense intended, but it's very clear that you're still a bachelor at heart. Enjoy your Vegas trips for the rest of us. If/when you meet the right one you won't be singing the same tune, though...You might even feel silly for asking the question.

For better or worse, for richer or poorer till death do us part (etc. etc.) are not part of your VOWS because of tradition. Somehow a disturbingly large number of folks have been convinced that "I do" means "I do until it's not convenient or comfortable for me (at which point I'll bail because, sh^t, everyone else does)".

A pre-nup is an antithesis to your intent to marry or your marital vows if you're already married. It's just another factor that cheapens marriage. Getting a prenup is like taking out an insurance policy on your commitment. The only "insurance" you have in marriage is that, no matter how sh^tty or good it gets, the woman/man you love VOWED to stand by your side so you don't have to go it alone...a partnership dissolvable only in death.

Take it for what it's worth. Our society loves attempting to mend our gaping wounds with little ol' band-aids (prenup is a great example). We dab on some anti-bacterial cream (brand name "lawyers") and expect it'll all go away....but we're still all messed up underneath.

I've rambled enough.

Hugh, thanks for helping me to make my point. Keep on keeping on man...

Car insurance? Please!

I'll give you this, though...at least you're willing to admit marriage isn't for you.

My second wife was well established in her community when I moved here. I was divorced, and my ex beat me to the bank the day I said I want out.
We talked about a pre-nup, but never did it. Her will leaves most stuff to others, in fact, should she die, I get the dog, but become homeless. We have talked about changing it, but it hasn't happened.
We have a friend who did a pre-nup, this time it was the guy who was well off. She said it was extremely stressful.

 

[chawbein]

I agree. Getting a pre-nup is setting the marriage up for failure. You seriously should not be getting married if you feel that you need to protect your assetts from your future spouse.

If you're worth many millions before getting married, might want to think about the prenup for a couple of reasons:

assure you don't get ripped off (or bumped off!)

assure the girl is in the deal for you only

If you're worth that much, I'm not sure you should even get married...

Generally, what's yours before is yours afterward. But anythings possible.

If you're person of average means, then the prenup would be much more offensive than helpful, IMO. You think you need one, then you don't need to be getting married at this point.

On the other hand, if she's in the deal only for you, then the reverse may be true and she shouldn't care about the money. You willing to risk loosing an otherwise nice girl to a "test"? A man's got to know his limitations.

I think it's funny that a bunch of pilots are talking about pre-nups. Everybody knows pilots don't have two pennies to rub together, taking half of nothing equals nothing . Well, at least that's what I hear around here....

She was a good looking older lady, but seemed like a real witch.
