Lawyer here. Exactly. As I said at the end of my last post, both a prenup and post nup would be evaluated the same. The only time a court will evaluate true fairness is if it’s dealing with kids. Just because you sign an agreement waiving child support or saying you will pay $50k and waive all visitation rights forever - a judge can overturn that bc it’s not in the best interests of the kids. For adult issues- fairness isn’t really a factor. [/quote]

I assume you mean minor children because obviously leaving the non-working parent destitute with no way of supporting themselves is not going to be in the adult children's best interests..  That's just dear old dad/mom kicking the can of responsibility to their unsuspecting children who actually do care about their destitute parent.

Look, lady. I’m an experienced lawyer. You’re not. I assure you I’m right. Even if you feel it’s a moral injustice, it is the way the law works. [/quote]

You did mean minor children.[/quote]

I said “kids” which is obviously not adults. Yes, minor children. [/quote]

Judging from what you are saying it sounds like if your spouse comes at you with one of these posthup agreements, you might want to take that as a red flag and get the hell out while the getting is good.[/quote]

It’s no different than a prenup. Just as offensive, if you see it that way. [/quote]
