[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There doesn't need to be a defense for keeping a trust separated. The law is very clear. Any spouse not willing to sign a pre nup regarding [b]pre marital assets that they have no claim to[/b] would not be someone I would marry.

So if your wife wouldn't sign a pre nup as it relates to your non existent trust I guess the trust issues would be on her side. [/quote]

Once again, not everyone places money above marriage the way you do.

By arguing that your spouse has no right to things you brought into the marriage, you've already made it clear that your priority is protecting your financial well-being above all.

You underscore that by stating you wouldn't marry anyone who didn't agree to be subservient to your bachelor(ette) bank account.

I wouldn't marry anyone who asked for [b]any[/b] kind of prenup, never mind one involving "marital assets that they have no claim to."

Yep. When some money is separate, how do spouses make career accommodations for children and for staying in a particular location to be with the spouse? If everyone is fending for themselves financially(that is what a pre nup is, really), everyone would be looking for the highest paying job without considering how it affects the family unit.

For example, the only reason my DH and I are in the DMV area is because of his parents. We would live a very comfortable life in cheaper areas, and I will have better job opportunities elsewhere. But we chose to stay because we like to see his parents every week.

I would imagine that adjusting my career options for that proximity to his parents would be a lot more difficult if he had any money separate from mine. He came into the marriage with some assets. I didn't. But everything belongs to both of us.
