Assuming you live in a community property state, assets acquired prior to marriage are considered your separate property UNLESS you take a step to transmute the property (i.e. change form of title, use community property funds to pay for a separate property asset)
Since you own all of your own assets, as long as you keep your earnings separate, he would have no claim to these assets either in divorce or in death.
If you have a valid will which bequeaths your assets to your daughter, this should be enough.
A prenup is only valid on assets acquired after marriage and used for purposes of divorce. If you are really interested in making sure he doesn't have a claim to any of your property AND you live in a community property state, you should contact an attorney and make sure you are protecting yourself.
Note there are specific guidelines which need to be followed for the prenup to be valid. An attorney would be able to advise you further. Good luck.

In the flush of romance neither would ever imagine being separated and not loving each other ever. So I would say the prenuptial agreement is a good safeguard for the one having the wealth. If it is a long steady marriage, nothing at risk will come about, but if things do go horribly wrong, at least you are protected and the pain of loss is not as great.
As for the child, to be fair, in the will ,he should go to the father while he is still a minor.

I agree one hundred% with the guy, there is not any way that i ought to signal a prenuptial settlement. a wedding ceremony is in preserving with believe and to have those ideas before even marrying is disgusting, i imagine the guy ought to search for a good female not someone who's for sure worried better about funds, which by the way she hasn't worked for - she purely occurred to have a wealthy grandfather. She appears like the gold digger.

Yes I would have a pre-nup. I know getting married is supposed to be "romantic" but it is VERY VERY smart to keep your brain together. If you do so, you will be much farther ahead in the long run.
My next question is why would you marry a man that you don't want to raise your child? If you don't trust him that much.. maybe you should rethink your decision. Of course, I wouldn't trust my ex-husband, the father of my children, any farther than I could throw him.

I used to think that if you would even consider a prenup , You really should not marry the person . But the more and more I see how people are now-a-days . It makes perfect sense ... You know all that seems good now will probably go to hell in two years . So yes cover you butt

Whenever the financial relationship is unequal at the beginning of the marriage it is advisable to get a prenup to protect the rights of the wealthier party.
My wife had a lot more money and property than I did before I graduated from lawschool and I insisted she get a prenup agreement to protect her hard work.
It isn't romantic to take something someone you love has worked hard for or even put yourself in a position where you could be tempted to take it. Entering a prenup is more romantic than pressuring your partner to expose themself to financial ruin because they love you.

drug addicts (former or current) are horrible people to marry...
they lack self control, which is VERY important for many reasons, including cheating, abuse, and conflict resolution. They do drugs when faced with issues, instead of solving their problems through hard work.
You should always love the person you marry, but don't always marry the person you love...

don't matter......you will go bankrupt when the baby you have has complications with AIDS. either your mans name is bubba or bubba ran one in him 3 times a day. sign over all rights of you current daughter to the state. you and your family are just too stupid. child endangerment charges should be filed against you. and your mans parole officer will probably do it.
