It begs the question whether the couple trust each other to marry if they need to sign a pre-nup, IMHO! 
I have chosen not to go down the route of having to depend another person financially, and am wary of anyone who may see me as a good catch!  |

Well, I'm 37 now and never married, never wanted to do, if however I was to marry, I would be sure of my partner first, so No I wouldn't sing a pre nup.
would just hope I got it right, lol |

well we have been together nearly 35 years - we seem to have a good system - she spends and I say yes
Seriously, if you are going to marry I'm very old fashioned, it should be on the basis of a lifetime partnership, the emphasis being on lifetime and partnership.
Surely if you sign some kind of pre nup you are already halfway to the divorce courts because you aren't trusting each others commitment. |

Of course there should be, all contracts need to have a end clause.
If no Vulture(solicitors) are involved in the divorce, in most cases if would be amicable. Once they get involved it can only go down hill.
Of course some end of relationship need them but not all.
You just can't predict the future and people who have got married in total bliss have ended up divorced...
But as i'm sure as everyone knows, any questions asked here, there are those who would and those who won't all great that we have diffrences  xx |

I agree with Pearl if you need pre nup then you cant trust the person so why marry??
But then we had nothing when we married so nothing to lose if we ever split, other than the enevitable fight over who takes the cat!! 
If however either of us had something worth losing maybe I would think differently, or if I had married someone with money I would have signed one to prove I wasnt after his money since I believe in marrying for love and love alone.

hell yeah, if one has some cash behind them whether it be property or other investments ie pensions, why should getting married mean you lose half of all that, 2 people in love who want to marry dont expect to break up but reality shows there is a high chance this might happen so its wise to protect whats yours and should you break up you still have what belongs to you.
I have been thru one divorce which was a huge financial blow, i was lucky enough to use my money left in a smart way and buy a house which i made a bit more profit on. If i were to marry again and divirce this would cripple me financially and i would end up with very little and the quality of life i had built up would be diminished.
so yes its very wise to protect what you have, once bitten............ |

how this scottish law means the partner gets half your pension, that is money you dont have and cant get until you retire but you have to cough up half of the value of your pension, so if you had a 20k pension you have to give your partner 10k, so if you sold the house when seperating you give them an extra 10k more.
my ex had custody of my kids and i was working, living on my own and had to pay child maintenance, so it was a struggle keeping a house on your own and paying bills and paying child maintenance
roles reversed now
i have custody of my 2 children, im unemployed living with partner, 3 kids in the house, mortgage to pay, my ex is ill and not working so she pays nothing towards the kids maintenance, so i dont get any boost in child maintenance after paying her maintenance for years

When I got married 30 years ago we had nothing and I'd never heard of a pre nupt.
Now I have a bit more and three kids. I wouldn't consider anyone who wasn't financially able to take care of themself so it wouldn't be an issue! |

There's no need for a pre-nup if you know the secret to a happy marriage.
Wanna know what it is?
