Usually true.
A different scenerio however can occur. Try this one;
A man and woman meet young, marry, have a wonderful life together, and raise a few nice children. They are financially sucessful as well. One dies. A few years pass, and the person meets and contemplates marriage again to a new person.
Some people are so good at hiding their real intentions that it makes perfect sense to figure out a way to start fresh, segregating all their assets so they can be left to the children instead of someone else who had nothing whatsoever to do with earning the assets.
If there was a 1% chance of anything going wrong, and there always is, it would be stupid to not make sound logical plans.
I would not contemplate being wed again if the terrible scenerio took place, but I have no ill feelings for those who do.
Happened to a friend of mine. When his grandfather died who himself was very wealthy, quite a few family heirlooms were earmarked to his grandchildren. Their grandmother died and he remarried but didn't do a prenup. After the grandfater died, the step-grandmother told his grandchildren that if they wanted the heilooms, they would have to buy them off of her. She also filed a lawsuit to get the grandfather's will thrown out of court since he earmarked the money in a trust for his kid/grandkids. She lost but it cost a lot of the kids inheritance. What a b*tch.
Again, I will do a prenup if I get married again. It is my assets and I will not put up with a black robe dictating how it is distributed in divorce based on his reason of "protecting Society's view".
