[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I decided to not add in extras and agreed to sign the document because it has no teeth and is basically the law. IL's agree to drop all child rearing requirements. My fiancé told me not to sign it unless I was absolutely OK with it. He's pretty sure it was his father's personal attorney who was behind it because its the first child getting married. He's not going to tell his father that the document has no legal teeth but someday he will figure it out and probably fire the attorney for not knowing the law. [/quote]

What do you mean "has no teeth"?

Also, as another PP pointed out, a lot depends on what state you are in.  It's possible that in your fiance's parents' state, inheritances can be considered community property (or there are loopholes).

If you and your spouse move to another state and are residents there and then divorce, it will depend on the laws in that state.

I find it highly difficult to believe that your fiance's 1 percenter parents have a lawyer who doesn't understand prenups, etc.

Has your fiance actually asked his parents specifically why they want the prenup signed?  If what it suggests is ALREADY the law, then my view would be, why sign?  It's unnecessary.

Furthermore, if you're going to go to the trouble of having a prenup, you might as well use it to protect yourself.

Just my 2 cents.

I'd also still take all of this as a red flag.  If you think OP's parents are really going to back off on the religious stuff, you're fooling yourself.  The mere fact that they would want to do that should be a red flag.

But good luck.
