this is the first i hear of a "pre (before) nuptial (wedding) after the wedding.
I think you should have asked this question before you got married and not now. Depends on where you live, but in California you already gave half of what you own to yr new wife. And I think pre nuptials are wrong they are only for people who are marrying a spouse they dont really love nnor know that they will correspond good.
If I love my husband so much and I give him whatever I get and so does he for me, why is it so hard for others to share with their love?
That one is puzzling for me.
But ok I've heard it from friends too. People who make a lot of money and are not willing to share, do it BEFORE THEY GET MARRIED ... they have their prenuptial agreement signed before they are married ohhh man, i hope you are not in for a big problem.
Why do men marry and don't want to take care of their wives and share with them their wealth even finantially? A MAN IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THE WOMAN but today's society has changed all so that women loose and they turn for revenge and go for ruining a guys' fortune. Still I think that its wrong to marry and know beforehand that yur wife is going to do you in and thus you already want lawyers involved.
Why did you marry?

Thanks for the heads up 4th River. I took a look at some of Jaspers other questions too... you know, the ones that say he's 19 and just 5 days ago both his parents were alive (cancer takes longer) to object to his marriage to an 18 year old, how he has a 12 year old (so you were six when you got someone pregnant?!), how he is both widowed and divorced, AND that his new secret crush is his new boyfriend.
I guess the stupidity of the question should have been a give away to the immaturity of the author, though.
So, you want some advice Jasper? Grow up and find other ways to get attention. And, if any of the scenarios were real, don't make up things to make your life sound more intersting... it ruins your credibility and makes you seem like an a$$.

You can't - prenup - PRE nuptuals - it's not a POST NUP. Obviously, you should contact a lawyer because the laws do vary state by state. And also consider that even PRENUPS can be invalidated after marriage - to be safe, you should have had one done at least 6 months before you got married AND had her get a different attorney and made sure they made some kind of change to it - that would've been the best way to ensure a valid, lasting prenup. But now... contact a lawyer - they will have the best answer for you and if your money is worth something to you, then I wouldn't be silly and wait around here for an "answer" that can't possibly hold up in court.

First of all, you should repost this question by including what state you are in! If you are in a Community Property state- like CA, it would not matter. See, in a CP state, anything EARNED in the marriage is 50% yours and 50% hers. However, if a relative LEFT you money, this is NOT earned income and is YOURS. The danger, however, is if you start comingling your money and then it becomes hard to keep track of whose money belongs to who.
Repost this question with more specific information. Also, your agreement wouldn't be a prenup- you're already married. You would just have a regular contractual agreement- and I don't even know if this is a possibility because what kind of woman would sign such a document??? If you bring this up, my guess is that you'll be getting divorced sooner than you think. Also, did you know that over 90% of marriages that have prenups end in divorce? It has to do with "expectation theory"- you generally get what you expect- and when you start out expecting to fail, guess what? You fail...
Other advice, you should consider gifting this $$ to someone you trust, like your mom, etc. She can set up a trust that can only be accessed by you.
FINAL WORD OF ADVICE: You need to see a wills & trust lawyer in your area and pay for the consultation if you have to. Explain the entire situation to them and ask them how you can protect your assets!!!!

Keyword in PREnup is PRE. Answer you can't. If you fear you wife will leave then you should not have married her! That being said she is legally half owner of everything you own this includes all assets after you marriage! She could take you for half of everything and your kids. My advice find a Lawyer and ask him/her how you can protect yourself and your children. Coming her to a place often visited by kids under 18 years of age is NOT the place to get good answers

Well, it's called a prenuptial (BEFORE you get married) for a reason. I'm sure there's some kind of agreement that you could have an attorney write up that would protect you. That is, if she will be willing to sign. She may get pissed that you're asking for one now that you've got money, and want a divorce. I guess you'll have to make that decision...

I really don't think you can because a prenup is a before marriage thing. Talk to a lawyer about what you con do to protect your money though. Asking her to sign something now may offend her also because she didn't marry you for the money. I guess you just have to trust her.

Talk to a lawyer. Most places will give you a consult for free. There are a lot of factors here including the state you were married in. You are going to have to talk to a lawyer because there are too many factors to be sorted out.

It would be a postnup now. A "pre"nup happens before you were married. In some states you can't do anything about it. In Texas, for example, it is a community property state. Anything you gain after marriage is technically split 50/50.

Wow, that's quite a life you got, with your 12 year old daughter, your 8 year od daughter who caught you masterbating, your 3 dead wives, you girlfriend you're getting pregnant because you're parents won't agree for your marriage, your girlfriend who is ALREADY pregnant and married to you, your dead father (who is only 35!!) and now all this money you've come into.
Get a life.
