[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like you could easily be more legally liable for alimony and things like that since you earn more money than he does.  He could lie and claim to be financially cut off and everything else. I also know that I have a trust fund coming to me and my family has set in place legal measures so that no one, regardless of who I marry, can access the various businesses that my trust involves.

So, basically.... find out which one will give you the best financial deal and go for that.  It would be a real cruel irony if you refused the prenup and then that allowed him to sue you for alimony since you earn more than him.... [/quote]

Bingo. If mom and dad cut him off and you divorce, he's getting your money.

Honestly, though, the guy sounds like a big red flag. Poor artist who is supported by his parents? Always sides with what mommy and daddy say? He sounds really immature and probably won't be able to cope with real life and the difficulties marriage and kids bring. He's already trying to get you to take on the burden of raising kids and you aren't even married yet. [/quote]

I have heard of so many people being screwed this way.  The woman goes to get a divorce and suddenly the trust-funder is "estranged from family" and "cut off and destitute".  I have heard of women having to pay alimony to people from hugely wealthy families.  Because family wealth is really not personal wealth- it can change on a dime and be quite easily hidden, much more so than other types of wealth.  And people do routinely get written out of wills and cut off because of family drama.  So it looks like a perfectly valid excuse in court.

But I agree- don't marry him.  He sounds like a major red flag with serious issues anyway.  And you will be linked to his family forever and it will be hell.  And it very well could be that this guy cannot ever stand up to them anyway or he might be written out- so you really are going to be at their mercy 24/7. [/quote]
