I would most definitely do a pre-nup. For all the reasons Gigi stated, I would do it. There's just too much at stake with accumulated assests and children.

Yes, I would require a prenup if I were to get married again. I feel it's the responsible thing to do when children from a previous marriage are involved.

If you ever were in a position to get married again, would you do a prenup agreement? I always thought these were so tacky, and hinted at a relationship that wasn't solid. But, now I'm starting to change my mind. I'm getting raked over the coals in this divorce, and would never want this to happen to me again.
Yes, I would do a prenup that protects my premarital assets.

Oh heck yeah and I would keep our money as separate as can be. No joint accounts, no joint investments - other than a home perhaps, nothing.

If I go into the marriage feeling a need to do a prenup, I don't need to get married.
If I'm going to get married again, I need to trust this person 100%. A prenup basically says, I trust you 99.9%. And that's not enough for me to do this dance again.

We are gonna have to hangout someday. Rational thought for the day........Marriage is not a business..........stay single and enjoy the money if that makes you happy. Instead of a prenup try a will.

I think that the fact that marriage is not a business is exactly why I would suggect a prenup and separate finances. Obviously when you marry someone you don't expect them to change, and you don't expect your relationship to change either. Life happens, people change, relationships change. If there is no money involved in that situation then perhaps it relieves the stress on both. I have a close friend who's wife has recently been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder - he wanted to stick by her and help her through it. But her response was to refuse treatment and have an affair. 8 years ago he could have never predicted this illness or its affect on either of them. Now in her mental haze she is demanding hundreds of thousands in alimony - and spending hundreds of thousands trying to get her lawyer to get it for her.
Prenups just remove that element from the relationship so that people can focus on their thoughts and feelings and not on what each is worth, IMHO.
