Pre-Nup in mid crisis?????
Posted On 01/15/2009 04:18:07 by Carrot

After some time of discussions and prayer me and my wife had decided to invest time and energy in a new buisness that is to be run by her and her friend.


As we are heving trouble in our marriage we both know that this will be trying times for us, but we have said that we are both prepared to work for this togheter as equals. We, togheter, risk our common economy and we have to face the troubles and risks togheter.


At this time my wife and her friend suddenly demands that i should sigh a pre.nup, statig that the buisness is my wifes private property.


I would like to point out that a pre-nup has never been up to discussion until npw, when the buisness is about to be finalised and all affairs are about to come to a closure. Everything is just days away.


To me this feels just plain wrong.


If me and my wife are to go into this togheter, that both risks and gains will have to be distributed equally. Without my help my wife could never do this, i i don't commit to this it wil eb impossible for her to do it, but iäm not sure i am willing to commit under these circumstaces.

Apart from this it feels like my wife and her friend are using the short time span to pressure me into signing this pre-nup without time to think and pray eunough about it.


Your prayers and your advice is sought and welcome,

Boy I can relate to that!   Ask her what she is afraid of- since you are in this TOGETHER!    ( fear is usually, being afraid of : not getting something you want, or loosing something you have)

maybe your business agreement should say : 50/50 !   Got a sponsor ? check in!

Blessings, Nia

Passiton is right on - pre-nupital is just that. before marrige designation of non- community property. That property so designate would not be on the table in a divorce action. If you invested any tangible assets (time, money, effort, etc...) into the business startup, then you could consider part of it yours. If my wife asked me do do this, I'd have to question the stability of my realtionship. Marriage is a partnership - for better or worse, richer or yada, yada,yada. Equal shares of misery and glory.
YF,

I would just say no.


If we were already married and I got a great job after struggeling for a very long time why would I have my husband sign a per nup then? Even the name says before marrage....pre-nup.


If you are still not sure how you feel about this call a lawyer. He will know your options.
