What exactly is a prenuptial agreement?

What exactly is a prenuptial agreement? Will it let me legally make sure that if she has an affair with another man and I divorce her, I will get custody of my children and not have to pay her child support?

Because my friend who is/was married recently discovered that his wife was cheating on him with 2 other men. He divorced her, but the judge gave her custody of their 3 children and he can’t see them anymore, not only that but he has to pay ,000/month in child support to her which she uses on on things for herself and not children, like a new car and jewelry she just bought. He told me he is going to kill himself because his life is pretty much over now.

I don’t want the same to happen to me if I ever get married because I know more than likely I will get cheated on since all women are cheaters. Will a prenuptial agreement make my life easier and prevent this from happening?




I live in Pa and i want to obtain sole legal custody of my unborn child. The baby’s father is saying that the baby ain’t his. I also want the father to have to pay child support. Is it possible to get sole legal custody with out the baby’s father seeing the baby and still having to pay child support?




I would like real informed answers not here-say. If a man faithfully pays by check 0 a month to the mother of his child, would she still be able to claim retroactive support? Meaning would she be able to get paid back for all those years even if he gave her that much money? Would the courts consider that a gift or would they recognize it as child support?




The biological person of my daughter is attempting to ruin my life by trying to contact my daughter after years of not paying child support and seeing her. He cussed me out the other day and told me he would see me in court, and that I can’t keep his daughter from him. I can write a 300 page book on why he can’t see her, but basically he is not a good person. I am trying to talk to a lawyer but they are so HARD to get ahold of. Any advice from law students or lawyers out there. I’m in California. Im very worried a judge may give some sort of custody because he/she may say it’s in the best interest of the child. (She is nine and hates him!)

I am the only parent on my daughters birth certificate in California. My ex partner has been paying child support and has had partial custody (every other Fri night thru Sun afternoon). She now wants 50 % custody or says we will go to court. What are my rights?
I am the biological mother and she did not adopt her. Child support is a court order and father is sperm donor and not in the child life in any way.
