[quote=Anonymous]I'm fine with prenups and think they're smart.  That said, i think there's a big difference between a prenup because the spouse is coming into a marriage with significantly more of their own earned assets, compared with a prenup where the inlaws are requiring it for their own earned assets.  I'm very sympathetic to the latter.  Think about it:  The inlaws have this money that they have worked for, reasonably want the money to pass on to their kids, but will have zero control over whether half the assets end up being siphoned off in a divorce.  Why?  Because they can't control who their kid marries, but more importantly they will have no control over the day to day behaviors in that marriage, or any control over the decision to get divorced. It's not unusual or unreasonable for a person to put conditions on their income gifts -- people do it all the time when they put money into trust.  I see no difference in inlaws requiring a prenup.  Same thing. Just keeps the money in the family.  [/quote]
