I've seen some internet services where you fill in a questionnaire and they mail the pre-nup to you. How does that compare to a sit-down with a lawyer?

It is best to get an attorney. Do a little homeowrk before you go such as:
property, bank accounts, investments, the period of time you want the pre nump to be.
All states are different, especially California.
There are free 1/2 hr consultations with attorneys - depending on your state, that can get you started. Also talk with your fiancee about a pre-nump before you invest in a lot of money...because both parties have to agree..Good Luck

I've never seen the site you're talking about. If you have something to protect, get a lawyer. If not - just forget about the pre-nup.

I believe it is better if you sit down with a Lawyer. One that specializes in per-nup. The money you pay out will help you in the long term.

First off, why are you wanting a pre-nup to begin with? Marriage is based on trust. If you do not trust the other person enough not to have a pre-nup, then do not get married.
Basically you are saying to the other person, "Honey, I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but I dont trust you" This is no way of starting out a life together.

If you don't go through a lawyer it's a lot less likely that a judge will enforece the pre-nup.

Try marrying someone you trust enough that having a pre-nup is not necessary. If your wealth means that much to you then try buying a spouse.

YOu'd be better to sit down with a lawyer. He'll or she'll probably still be in business if you need him later. He may even know the judge, which I doubt the internet dudes will.

First of all, just ask yourself ...why would I need one? It really boils down to a trust issue in the first place. It's something about the individual you don't trust. And you're coming up with a plan B if plan A don't work. Do you really want to marry? What is it you don't trust about this individual? You will always be devided! When you get married you suppose to come together as one.
So what is it?

I would suggest for you to figure out what you want and then sit down with a lawyer.
