[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you both go into a marriage young and poor, then I would advise against a prenuptial agreement because you never know what life will bring you.

My DH and I have been married almost 19 years, and we started our lives together with $57K in HHI and $130K in student debt.  Since we were both young lawyers at that time, we might have agreed to have a prenuptial agreement that split everything in proportion to our economic contributions to the marriage -- at that time I thought I would be the primary breadwinner.

Fast forward 19 years.  I gave up a good career after 8 years of practice, and am currently a SAHM to several  children -- we do not have a nanny.  DH earns about $2 million/year.

We will be together forever, but the economics of our marriage are very different from what I might have envisioned and planned for in a prenuptial agreement had we made one when we first were married.  [/quote]

No reason you couldn't have modified the agreement at a later point to reflect changed circumstances.[/quote]
