If you have property prior to the marriage, does a prenup protect you from your spouse taking it. Does it protect you from ever having to pay alimony or spousal support whatever you want to call it? Is their anything else it protects you from??????

Money hungry people. Yes it protects your property and if no children involved it could protect you from having to give up some of your money or property. If you have anything of value you need one.

A prenup can protect you from whatever you want. If you have some concern over your finances you can add that or keeping a pet..you can add that too. The tricky part is getting the person you want to marry to agree and sign the prenup.

It will, in it's simplest form ,spell out that individual property brought into the marriage individualy stays your individual property. Depending on your state, all property acquired during the marraige is joint property and will be split equitably should the marriage disolve. Alimony, spousal support and further asset disribution can be affected by a good pre-nuptual agreement.

from what i understand the prenup agreement sets the dollar amounts which should include everything from alimony, child and/or spousal supports and any other assets the other half would get should you and your sweetie decide to get a divorce.

It keeps a spouse from marrying for money. Have you ever heard the term "gold digger?" There are sick, twisted women and men out there who marry people for financial and/or property reasons. Then they divorce them and end up taking 50% of the assets. I'm not too sure about anything else that might help...

Getting his or her money. Prenup's are for rich people cause most of the other people do not have enough to fill one out for.

The pre-nup is moot because you aren't any more to blame for any of his costs besides. you could opt for to exercize caution at the same time as it includes putting resources in both truly one of your names. enable's say you've a joint bank account. His student mortgage employer can placed a lien on the bank account because it really is in his call also. as long as he's not antisocial on his student loans, you do not have any more some thing to rigidity about. Getting a deferment or a forebearance on student loans is amazingly effortless. He could verify it out if he's having complications. i opt for to emphasise that the prenuptual settlement would do no longer some thing to modify the placement because it already exists. If my spouse had $a million million responsible playing cards and $a million million in medical costs, they couldn't in any respect, ever sue me. they could confident her. If we at the same time owned a $a million million living house, they could attack that asset because it really is in her call also. A pre-nup does no longer safeguard me from this example both. in the adventure that your boyfriend entered a settlement with, say, Capital One, he can't for this reason enter a settlement with you (contained in the shape of a pre-nup) that alters his responsiblities to Capital One. keep your funds. do not get the pre-nup.

As far as I understand it, it's a contract you can pretty much define yourself. So it could be a condition such as... if you divorce you get half of everything or, the other person gets none of your possessions etc. As long as both people sign it then it's all fine.
