Trend watch – Post-nuptial agreements

Just seen on CNBC: A segment on the post-nuptial agreement (!) for those who forgot to get a pre-nup. How on earth is the husband (say) supposed to breach the topic to his wife after years of marriage without completely ruining said marriage? And why would anybody in their right mind sign a post-nup? I’d call my divorce lawyer instead, because you know the other shoe is about to drop. Pre-nups are stupid, Post-nups are beyond belief.

[Tue, Oct 08 2002 – 11:06] prefer to be kept annonymous (email) totally agree with you. my husband and i just got married last month and he brought up the issue about signing a nup less than a month after the wedding. not that he has any money but he supposedly thinks he will one day being in med school etc.

apparently his dad is putting pressure on him because his parents went through a bitter divorce seven years back.

shouldnt have this been discussed prior to the wedding? its unfair to bring it up after.

i’m starting to wonder if i made the right choice marrying him. he wants me to sign a nup saying that since i am not paying his school tuition, i will not be entitled to any of his future earnings, in the event of a divorce. what the … its barely been a month since we got married.

  1. Here is a reason why…I have an Ex who is trying to go after my new wifes assets. Since her net worth is substantialy higher than mine she is trying to claim that although I don’t make enough to pay her more support I have access to funds and equity in a home my wife has just purchased therefore can pay despite everything else. I’m signing one to protect my wife from my ex’s greedy little fingers
