[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slightly different perspective here:  my DH comes from a wealthy family, had significant personal assets from his own earnings, knew I had no assets and student loan debt, and did not ask me for a prenup.  His parents have given him over $400K during our marriage for various significant expenses (down payment, new cars), and we have no prenup.  I also got a reasonably valuable engagement family engagement ring and some other family jewelry (his family).

Not expecting to get divorced (although only married 3 yrs, together 8), but if we did divorce, [b]I would not try to claim any of the assets DH brought into the marriage or gifts from his parents[/b] given to us during the marriage or the jewelry, because it would not be ethically right to claim them.  We have children, but I make a good income (although much less than my DH), I didn't marry him for his money, and I can support myself and our kids.  Granted, I couldn't afford to have us live like we do now, but we would be fine.

I don't understand people trying to get money that isn't meant for them when they get divorced.  [/quote]

You say that now, but if he's banging his assistant and left you in a house you cannot afford to maintain and kids you need to care for by yourself, you might be singing a different tune.[/quote]
