[quote=Anonymous]Female here.  When I got married, I insisted on a prenup, even though we didn't have much, and he was the higher earner, although I was at the time of divorce. My mom had given me the down payment for the home I already owned, and I wanted to protect her money. It was simple and just said that anything titled in our own names would stay ours, and jointly titled things would be split in half. I don't have access to tax deferred retirement accounts through work, so I invested in real estate and put the homes in only my name.  I made sure he maxed out his 403b and his IRA. When we divorced, I was very glad to have it so we didn't have anything to argue about.  He kept his retirement accounts and pension, and I kept the real estate.  It wasn't 50/50, but we were both in much better positions than when we got married, and he would have never done it on his own, so he was happy that I helped him get to that point. The divorce cost $1750, and we split that in half....easy peasy.  [/quote]
