Prenup just makes sense - the worst that can happen (if you manage to get married after proposing to sign prenup) is that it won't be deemed binding, at least you've tried.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostWhat's this got to do with earnings after the divorce? If both parties are on a similar financial footing when wed, splitting 50:50 at divorce is not unreasonable, it's all the other stuff which goes on which seems to be crazy
But as my post is obviously implying that I'm addressing the common preconception that in preparation for the FDR, people think they can hedge investments prior to the marriage and incidentally, weigh household contribution splits/earnings to their advantage during the course of the marriage.
Nothing can be further from the matrimonial truth.
Divorce is nasty - I was one of the lucky ones - eventually, clean break and no kids. I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy.

Originally posted by AtW View PostBut the good news is that 50% of that money will be hers - it's like half price litigation if there was one!
It happens in libel cases as well - the super rich try and have their cases in England because of our tulip libel laws which puts the onus on the person/organisation you say has libelled you to prove they haven't."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostWasn't the Supreme Court ruling based mainly on the fact that the parties involved where both super rich foreign nationals and the guy was trying it on by using the English courts i.e. divorce tourism.
"The Supreme Court said it agreed that in the right case such agreements can have decisive or compelling weight."

That does not (yet) mean that prenup is everything, however it should make job of a gold digger that much harder.Comment
