[quote=Anonymous]Sign the pre-nup!

Reverse situation here: my family owns a business and when it came to marriage, DH had to sign a pre-nup forgoing rights to my interest in the family business. He did so and did not even have a concern about doing so.

The reality is that half the marriages in the US end up in divorce and although we all think it will not happen to us, it does ...... just the complaints about spouses on this forum and advice from posters to end the marriage is anecdotal evidence of how many marriages end up in trouble.

What some posters who have argued against signing the prenup and offering ways to protect OP's interests may not realize is that making a financial settlement in the event of divorce when it comes to a family business, is very difficult. Many such businesses don't have the liquidity to do so and this results in serious complications and ramifications.

I have three siblings and our parents made it clear that if an iron-clad pre-nup was not signed, the child would forgo his/her rights to any equity in the family business. It was our choice and if signing a pre-nup was something that went against the grain, then the child needed to accept that there was a consequence. After all, it is their business/property and they are free do with it as they will.[/quote]
