Nowadays you'd need one! I don't care how well you think you know someone, statistics and personal experiences speak for themselves.
However, my first option is to not marry. I'd prefer being in a common-law relationship so to speak. Basically married, but without actually being married. That's the way to go nowadays!

if you have anything of value that you wouldn't want her to take from you......of course.
marriage doesn't have the values today as we were taught they should have.
i asked a woman several weeks ago who recently got divorced:
"what do you miss most about your marriage"
her reply:
"paying all those damn bills by myself"
that reply says it all for me.

plus aren't they rendered null and void after a certain period of time?
Prenup is mandatory. They expire when you do.
earnings during the marriage are not subject to it. Prenup is irrevelant for calculating child support.

The money I make during a marriage cannot be protected with a prenup?MattTheSkywalker said:
Prenups nevere expire?
Is there anything else I can do to nearly completely protect my assets?
What about if I get divorced and just keep all of my money and stay out of the US?
I'm not married, but these are questions I am very curious about.
plornive said:
You can write the contract any way you want. There is no statutory expiration
All of the US states have laws that handle assets accumulated during marriage. Typically, they are divided equally....some states have different methods but you can't hide it all.
i have one. it was hard convincing her at first to sign it but she did

what we had before we married is ours and any inheritance we receive, ever, is off limits to the other person in case of marital dissolution

If you are at equal levels financially, and are likely to remain relatively so, there is no need. IF you are far more wealthy, and are likely to remain so...or if you have prized posessions you would never part with, a prenup is a MUST.
I thought about the whole prenup thing. And I came to an idea that I think is good.
Since I expect to be very wealthy before I get married, I will put aside a chunk of cash for the wife. She cannot know how much it is, she cannot touch it, she cannot inquire about it. I cant alter or touch the money either. Only an appointed lawyer can give it out when/if the marriage falls apart. Everything else is off limits.
So if shit does (and most likely will) go down the drain, then I dont lose everything. And there is confidence in the relationship. The problem with prenup's is it instills doubt and insecurity into a womans mind (and as if they dont have enough of that already). That itself can cause the relationship to fall apart.

The logical side of me that knows all of the detrimental consequences says the pre-nups are good.
The starry-eyed side of me says that it is not necessary if 2 people are truly in love.

I think that if you feel the need, or any suggestion of need, for a prenup, that you shouldn't get married to the person.
