Is there any valid reason why not to get a prenup?

Absolutely not.  In this day and age, you NEVER know what will happen in the future.  Contrary to popular belief, it's not setting the relationship up for failure.  It's for your safety as well as hers.

Depends on lots of things.  Pre=nups, etc.  Do you have an attorney?  If not, you'll need one eventually.

Wow. that is a tough one. It depends on your morals and beliefs. Is the marriage strong enough to handle the consequences? I once watched Dr. Phil and he said that is never a good idea. no matter who wants it or how long you've been married. What do you want? sometimes you have to stay true to yourself.

That is a question that only you can answer for youself. My reasons for marriage my not being 'enough' for you, while others reasons might be. Marriage is, despite what others say, different for everyone. Everyone goes into marriage for a different reason. Reasons vary from love, money, arranged, being they can, to because they have to. However, my reason to marry was because I loved/still do my husband very much and I wanted to express it with something greater than boyfriend/girlfriend status. We were ready for the commitment and the responsibilities, which there are many of them. We wanted to have a real family, not that non-married people or single people can't have one.

PEOPLE GET MARREID FOR DEFFERENT REASON'S SOME IS MONEY MINES WAS LOVE. I WANTED A FAMILY BUT I DID NOT WANT TO BE SOMEBODY'S BABY'MAMA SO I GOT MARRIED AT THE TIME I DID NOT WANT ANY KIDS BUT THEY CAME OUT OF THE MARRIAGE. I ALSO DID NOT WANT TO LIVE IN SIN I ALREADY GOT A HISTORY OF SIN I DID NOT WANT THAT TO BE ONE OF THEM. BUT ALL IN ALL MARRIAGE IS ACCEPTING THE THINGS THAT SOME ONE CAN NOT CHANGE AND IF YOU CAN LOVE THE PERSON FOR WHO THEY ARE INSIDE THEN GO FOR IT.

This greatly depends on a number of things up front:\n\n1. Was there a Pre-Nuptial agreement signed before the marriage? If there was and it's written in her favor, he could walk away with some personal items and his clothes, or vice versa, she may have been generous and given him a share.\n\n2. Depending on which state they reside in, he could walk away with as much as 50% of all joint assets. This is null and void if there was a Pre-Nup.\n\n3. The lawyer that handles the case (on his behalf) is a huge factor. Even with a Pre-Nup a good lawyer could win the guy a serious share.

Thats not true. I'm sure there are rules about it like within a year. But there are alot of people who get it after. Petition the court for an annulment and if they deny your request you still have divorce as an option. Speak with an attorney about this to be sure. There are alot of grounds you can get an annulment on:Fraud is a big one. Like if they told you before you got married that they wanted children and then after the wedding they told you they lied. So definitely speak with an attorney. With an annulment you won't be a divorcee. It will be as if the wedding never existed.

marriage is just a piece of paper. Love makes all the difference. Why do you need a contract that is non-binding anyway?

I'd never marry someone under a pre nump. That's saying you're expecting your marriage to fail. If you expect it to fail, you shouldn't get married at all.

There are some general legal principles:\n\n1.  Spouses are generally presumed to co-own anything gained during the marriage and be responsible for any debts incurred during the marriage.\n\n2.  But there are a whole lot of exceptions.\n\n3.  And there is no way to know how these rules would be applied in each case.  It's all exceptionally fact-specific.\n\n4.  The only way to get a handle on the issues is to consult with a lawyer.\n\n5.  But you should never presume that you "don't have the money" to get divorced or that it would be financially ruinous.  For the non-monied spouse, the news is usually a lot better than she might expect.\n\n6.  See a lawyer.

It is possible to have almost anything you want in a pre-nup that isn't illegal as it is a private contract. A few months back I read an article about Hollywood pre-nups where they put in some pretty zany things. Things like serving certain foods or gaining more than a certain amount of weight voiding the marriage, or custody of potential pets that don't yet exist. Anything you both can agree to may be included. If he believes these stereotypes about your country, however, be prepared to find he won't agree to this provision. If he won't agree to it, it can't be in there. Also, assuming his country is the US, and hers is not, if there is a break in diplomatic relations with her country, that will void that provision as US citizen children cannot be brought there if there is opposition from a US citizen parent. So you can put that clause in, but it may be unenforceable.

I would not try to do that unless I met you SS! Anyway, why marry if you want to have other people? Well maybe for a tax break.

What could be immoral about them as long as what is in the contract is only about money. Prenups should be only about money, if anything else is included such as retaining a family name, predetermined custody of children, the removal of the ring finger...just kidding.

It's possible but why get married if you are going to live apart.

No, not so.\nYou cannot disclaim a liability. You can only disclaim a benefit.\nIn fact you cannot disclaim child support even in a prenuptial agreement.\nThe reason for this is that the child support is in the "best interest of the child", thus neither a father nor a mother not both can disclaim it.

According to the latest research there are 7 main reasons:\n\nPoor communication\nFinancial problems\nA lack of commitment to the marriage\nA dramatic change in priorities\nInfidelity\nFailed expectations or unmet needs\nAddictions and substance abuse and Physical, sexual or emotional abuse\n\nLack of conflict resolution skills although not a reason certainly contributes.\n\nEvery case is different as every couple has unique triggers an stresses, but in general the above reasons would give most folks a run for the money to stay together.

If you are concerned about the legal benefis when you marry someone then you should probably not get married. Marriage is about love, not material things you'll receive.
