[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I told my fiancé that child rearing demands are unacceptable and he agrees and he already told his parents. I listened to the conversation and he made it clear to them it was off the table. I'm meeting with a lawyer today to better understand the financial stuff. If inheritances and trusts are already protected from a divorce then a prenup might add little except make his parents feel better. Regardless, they are not doing their best to make me feel welcome. If I can't get comfortable with it my fiancé said he has no problem with me not signing it. [/quote]

If you agree that a prenup is a good idea (and given his crazy family stuff, I think it is), then you two and your lawyers should write it. Not his parents, and not his parents' lawyers.[/quote]

Signed,
Someone who used to work in family law.

DEFINITELY have your own lawyer write it.  No f-ing question.  (The things I have seen...) [/quote]

Lawyer here and it doesn't necessarily matter who drafts the agreement so long as OP has competent counsel.  OP's lawyer will read the provisions and explain the impacts of the provisions and propose modifications to the agreement as needed.  Per OP's follow up post now that they're only dealing with the financial issues it should be fairly straightforward.[/quote]

Plus 1. I think it's cheaper too. I don't pay as much as I would if my lawyer drafted from scratch and then also went through the other parties changes. Her and I both read the drafts thoroughly and edit as needed.[/quote]
