[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I married into a wealthy family, and they would never have asked me to sign a prenup.
It’s an awful way to start a life together.[/quote]

Eh, I don’t know. It sounds like his money at time of marriage was really family money. [/quote]

This is what is confusing to me. Fine a prenup if it's family money not money he earned. But by saying she can't depend on him is she saying the prenup also included his earned money? Did it apply the other way where he doesn't get her money?[/quote]

They are in California. Family money is easy to reach in divorce without a pre nup in California.

I like Ali Wong but I felt like some of her comments about the pre nup came across as at best ignorant, at worst a little entitled. It is very hard to protect family money in CA absent a pre nup. It’s not like the east coast. [/quote]

We don’t know the terms of the prenup. I am still wondering how much money there was to protect if she had to pay off his student loans….[/quote]

We don’t know, but it’s not unusual in CA to need a pre nup to protect family money since it’s so easy to get to it without a pre nup in a divorce. It’s also not unusual for wealthy families to have younger members take out student loans to give them some skin in the game and to avoid touching the principal. My guess is there is a fair amount of family money and some strategic use of low-rate loans. [/quote]

Great but then she shouldn’t be the one paying off his loans.[/quote]

+1. I don’t blame her for resenting his family. [/quote]

Sure, but that’s a separate issue from whether it’s reasonable to have a pre nup to protect family money and whether there is family money (likely, in this case).

From their point of view, they likely think they were right to insist on a pre nup.[/quote]
