I have an inheritance and also proceeds from the sale of my home that I want to keep as mine and my fiance wants to have a prenup agreement for his half–he owns his own home. I read that one needs more than a prenup agreement but also an estate agreement.

I also want to give my inheritance to certain charities after I pass away. Is that wrong to do if I remarry?

someone I know is marrying a U.S. military man stationed abroad. She is a non-U.S. citizen, and the military man is a U.S. citizen. What is she wants to draft a prenup agreement? Will it be enforceable in the U.S. is she hires an U.S. attorney abroad?

In a prenup agreement, is it ok to include a clause which would say something like this:

"In the event of separation/divorce, under no circumstances will either party be responsible for paying spousal support. Both parties signing this agreement waive their right to spousal support and agree to support themselves in the event of separation/divorce."
Cyanne, could you please explain in detail why the court would not honor it? If a person waives their right to spousal support, then why would the court not honor it?

I am in a California, in a serious relationship, and would want a prenup agreement done prior to marriage. I have relatively more assets than her going into the relationship, plus I have a daughter from a previous marriage. I am just not sure what is the best way to approach my fiancee about it. Any thoughts ?

I have a wonderful girlfriend- I foresee us getting married one day. But I am thinking that I would like for her to sign and agree to a prenup agreement. You see, I want to have money saved up for the car of my dreams. I have already told her that part.

I don’t intend nor hope that the marriage fails- but it could happen. You just never know. Hence, I want to know for sure that she wouldn’t try to take away that money that I save up, if we ever decided to go our separate ways. Does that make sense?

I am reasonably sure that an attorney would be able to find out about my secret account- certainly if she informed him/her of its existence. I hope and pray that this never happens- but I can’t predict the future.

So, I feel reluctant to talk to my sweetheart about this. If I try to see things from her point of view, I can understand why it may bother her if I wanted to have a prenup. It may even suggest that I feel that we may not stay together forever.

What do you think?
