[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I dont care about his money then I would sign it. It would be easier on my husband and I am sure it would make him happy to have his family there.  Really, if you think this marriage is going to work...then why not?[/quote]

Bingo! [b]But you can be sure that his money is the reason why she is reluctant to sign the prenup[/b].[/quote]

I wouldn't assume that of the bride to be.  I've been married 25 years and our finances are much different than when we started out or even anticipated.  The problem with prenups, no one has a crystal ball.

What if after they have kids, he wants her to be a SAHM at the set back of her own career?  By being a SAHM, she handles all child care issues, peds appointments, school meetings, etc. while he has flexibility in his own work schedule to build the business and grow his income?  What if she helps in the family business after the parents passing?  Her sacrifices contribute directly to her family's well being and her husband's ability to have a thriving career.  Should she just be left in the cold if the marriage goes south?  I say they are a young couple and a prenup demand would be ridiculous.

The family business is screwed up if there is no distinction between personal income and net worth and the worth of the business as a whole.  Why do they have to be so intrusive in their son's life to protect their financial well being?  Separate the net worth of the business from the net worth of the son and the prenup issue would be null and void.

This is one of my life's mottos:  You can only control your actions, not the actions of others.  The parents should just restructure the company, let the prenup issue go, and be supportive of the happy couple.[/quote]
