As the breadwinner, [b]the only way that you are this happy with your postnup is if you come out ahead with it and it provides you with an easy out. [/b] FWIW, the postnup has to be fair in order for it to be valid.

I don't think of my relationship with my husband as adversarial. So, no. [/quote]

Obviously, I can't possibly know the details of your own personal relationship with your husband or why you would feel the need to spell the terms out of a divorce now.

I understand that people do it.  But it seems to me that the terms of a postnup that you agree to and sign 1 year after you are married is no longer going to be appropriate 10 or 20 years down the road.  I would consider that document to be valid for maybe 3 years.[/quote]

This is not correct. An experienced domestic relations attorney will prepare one that will be valid forever and apply even after circumstances change. It’s no different from how a prenup is valid 10 years later. [/quote]

An agreement that will be valid forever is also going to be a fair one.  For instance, an agreement which sets out the terms of splitting (or not splitting) an inheritance.  [/quote]

Not necessarily. I have been practicing domestic relations law for almost 30 years. Have you?  [/quote]
