The whole point of a marriage is for two to build a life together. Unless one of them is coming into the marriage with a LOT more than the other, a prenup is unnecessary.

As it is, neither of them has much. Anything that is built from this point forward belongs to both of them. No prenup necessary.

Now if he were coming in with a ton of money - then, yes. He might want a prenup to keep her from taking half of everything in the event of a divorce a year down the road.

HOWEVER - from the sounds of it, SHE might want a prenup to get back what SHE invested in HIM in the event of a divorce.

As it stands - they don’t need it. If they build a life together and have children, she should get half of the financial benefits if they split up down the road.

I’m a huge supporter of prenups that have the stipulation of infidelity. If he cheats, she gets half of everything that he owns... plus the house, plus child support, etc.

If she cheats, she get’s nothing and loses custody of the children.

If she FILES, she should leave with nothing. WHoever makes the decision to leave deserves nothing.

I like that idea! Especially since the law itself often doesn't take into account one spouse cheating on the other.
