[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the advice. I will get and pay for my own attorney. FYI - my fiancé did let me know the letter was coming but not what was in it. The child rearing issues were mostly faith based in terms of both religion and schooling. The protection of inheritance and trusts is all new to me so I do need to get smarter even with a lawyer involved. While my fiancé is an artist, he is actually quite successful for someone not yet 30. He is definitely not living off of his family's money and is making it on his own just as I am. His parents live in a world of 1%-ers and as my dad said "the air is very thin at that altitude which can cause brain defects." They are generally nice people and live far away so I'm hoping that they don't interfere too often. So, I'm prepared to sign a prenup but only if it's reasonable especially about child rearing.

Op, be prepared for all kinds of meddling. It's just what it is. Even if parents are not supporting him now, he won't go against his parent's preferences, on any matter, hardly ever. They dangle the carrot of future inheritance and the stick of taking that away. Your fiance may even say he doesn't care about his inheritance now when he's young. He will care a whole lot more as he gets older and he deals with what life throws at him and how costly it is to raise kids.

But you know what. Think about it. Imagine you are their parents. Of course they feel entitled and want to protect him. They dont know you or love you like your fiance does. I bet you 100 percent, when your kids get engaged, you will support your kids asking their SO to sign a prenup.

It's just all human nature. [/quote]
