I think it is troubling that this was asked about four days before wedding. This is strange. I personally would not sign a prenup for a first marriage and I didn’t and we have been married twenty years. Second marriage and you have children things are different. Looks like both of them have a past and this should have been discussed well before marriage. neither of them look good because they should have worked this out long ago. To me this isn’t about even that you are worried your partner will divorce you as it is about if you die and want to make sure your kids have your assets from before you were married and spelled out what happens to assets after you are married.

I'm a working professional and wouldn't sign a prenup. Nothing suspect about me. My DH is a working professional, and so am I, and when we married we agreed that what's-mine-is-yours-and-what's-yours-is-mine. He had more than I. But not a lot more.

Well that's different. My guess is she has considerably more than he does.

If signed, the presumption is that it was mutually agreed upon.

Not true. The other party can claim they were shown the prenup just before the wedding, without any discussion or prior negotiations. That greatly undermines the fabric of the document.

And if you were actually a lawyer, you'd know that.

You don't know what you are talking about.

Another lawyer and I agree. Not the way it works. They did not draft themselves. A real prenup takes time to set up. Most lawyers video record the couple and ask lots of questions of each to determine they know what is going on, are of sound mind, have no questions, and are doing this freely.

It isn't DCUM if we don't get armchair lawyering from someone who doesn't know what they are talking about...

Good for her provided she gave him a lot of notice that that wanted one, allowed for him to negotiate, ensured he had counsel, and the doc and negotiations were planned well before the wedding. If she threw it on him last minute, she sucks.
