[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband's family has a cabin in a cold weather locale which has been their nirvana for generations.   They asked me to sign a prenuptial agreement so I have no claim on it in a divorce, which I did.

It is held in a trust which also has a bank account which had been funded by ILs. My husband and siblings are trust beneficiaries.

The trust cash has run out and they will need to find funds for property taxes and repairs.

Here is my question - do I push back against my husband using our family money to maintain this cabin I have no claim over?

They wont want to sell. His siblings adore the place and spend summers there. My husband visits a lot. It is a key part of their identities. I haven't been since the kids got busy at home in the summers.

It is too run down to be rented out for revenue.

We have impending college tuitions and no extra cash.  It will be at least $15K just for taxes and basics, more if there are major repairs.

Assuming you and your DH are happily married, I would not approach this from the point of view of "prenup and comingling funds," but rather as "does it make sense for your family." Based on the fact that you signed a prenup, I assume you can afford $15k (or is it less because he is splitting it across his siblings) to make your husband happy. If so, sit down with your husband and talk about it. I would not bring up the prenup (but then again, I am happily married, with a successful career of my own).

Good luck![/quote]
