[quote=Anonymous]My brother just finalized his divorce after less than 4 years of marriage.  He was going to marry SIL without a prenup before our father intervened.  He basically threatened to rewrite his will and restrict access to his trust fund to "protect him".  My brother was so angry and threatened not to have anything to do with our dad.  Dad stood his ground.  I am not going to flat out call SIL a gold digger but she has gold digger tendencies.  She enjoys the finer things in life but did not want to work hard to get them.  She wanted to marry well instead.  After the marriage she quit her job even though they did not have kids.  She would go shopping and have lunches with her GF's.  She did not go back to college to try and better herself.  She had household help so she did not do anything domestic.  This worked for them for a while anyway.  Eventually the marriage did fall apart.  It was as much my brothers fault as it was hers.

Let me tell you the claws came out when it came time to enforce the terms of the prenup that she signed 1 month before the wedding.  Her lawyer made all sorts of unsubstantiated claims.  They ended up in court and SIL tried to invalidate the prenup.  There was a whole hearing over it.  The court ended up enforcing every single clause in that prenup.  My brother cut her a check and she was out of his life.  If Dad had not stood his ground I am sure my brother would still be fighting her in court and paying some huge amount of spousal support.

My dad and brother did eventually make up I am glad to say.  Seriously get a prenup.  [/quote]
