[quote=Anonymous]He could also take all their savings and buy his mistress an apartment. Um! Yes. They need a prenup so that all parties agree before marriage what is a fair way to deal with assets.

The prenup might actually protect her in the end.

I won't even get into she needs her own money and way to support herself.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would sign something saying I had no claim to his family business (assuming I would not be working with the family business) but I would not sign anything with regard to our marriage or earnings or assets outside of the family business. [/quote]

The problem is what if he takes over the family business at some point and that is his main source of income and he puts *all* of his savings into it?  He could easily tie all of his assets to the family business, assets he earned while married to the OP.  And she would have signed her right to any of them away.  Let's add to the scenario, what if she had a few kids and took some time off work, decreasing what she earned/saved to take care of his kids?

Then she's screwed.

I would not sign a prenup.

If you feel a prenup is necessary, then don't get married.  If you don't want to combine finances/assets, there actually is no reason why you need to get married.  Period.  If you want your partner to have power of attorney if you're in the hospital, you can do that without getting married.
