Before getting married? Why and when it is strictly necessary?

it is necessary to agree on everything before submitting your papers because if you don't the hearing will be contested. Pushed to a later date. Believe me, have it all figured out when you go, lawyers or not. Agree on something before you get there. Me and my ex didn't . We have been separated for over a year, now, and I can't recieve child support until the divorce is final. So, please have all your stuff ready. The judge isn't there to help you agree on stuff, they are there to write down their signature.

I don't beleive in all that stuff, if you love eachother and your getting married then what is all that REALLY about. I do realize that there are gold diggers out there, men and women alike. But marriage is about or suppose to be about love, trust, sharing, and growing together. This world has become rediculous and the gold diggers are the one to thank for most of it in the marriage world.

Find out if the state you live in is a "community property" state. If so, in the event of divorce, property will have to be divided equally (as well as debts). If you don't wish to incurr his old debts should you divorce, then you need a legal document to protect yourself. Also, if you stand to inherit any amount of money, and don't want him taking half of your inheritance after a divorce, then you will need a prenuptual agreement to specify that. It's not a matter of "trust" in my book - it's a matter of being realistic that over half of all marraiges eventually end in divorce.

No. Marriage is all abt love , trust, giving n sharing of things. It seems to me that u dont trust the woman? I personally would not marry someone if they ask me to sign some rubnish like that. It's not like if u r the son of Bill Gates...hahah

Hola, mi amor, from USA. Mi esposa este Peru. If you are talking about law here in th US, once you are married, everything that both of you have is owned 50/50. If you are going to marry a guy that owns millions in real estate, don't bring it up. If the shoe is on the other foot, then, OF COURSE! Gringo here

Do you have alot of assetts you would be bringing into the marriage? if so then yes a prenup is a good thing,, if you really have nothing,, then there really is no point in writing one, I would definately keep all finance seperate, but then I always think the worse like divorce,

I don't think that I would marry anyone that asked me to sign any agreement.but that is just me. Thats to me is just asking for trouble in the marriage before it even gets going.

If you have alot before you get marriage than yes I think its only fair you get that back if the marriage does work out.

well its only necessary if one person or both brings alot of money to this relationship, You need to differenciate the 2 incomes...
But if you are like me we both came in with nothing, whats the point!
GOOD LUCK!

I personaly feel like if my future spouse didn't trust me anymore than that then we shouldn't be getting married. I know I wouldn't take anything of his with me if we seperated and if he didn't trust that I was that type of person then I would feel as though he didn't know me well enough to marry me.
