yes but if you have to ask you probably won't do the required research to come up with a prenup that protects you and holds in court. also you need post-nups not just a prenup.
marriage is definitely worth it if you take money completely off the table with a prenup
>post-nups
these don't hold up at all. Contracts need mutual consideration to be enforceable, meaning both people need to be offering something. In a commercial contract for instance one party will deliver cash in return for the other party delivering a good or service.
Courts (at least in NY where I live) view agreement to marry as consideration. So you sign the prenup which limits your ability to raid my estate if we divorce, and in return I marry you. But for a postnup there's no mutuality of obligation, so they're not enforceable.
In california, if a marriage is over 10 years it doesnt matter. Its split 50/50
is why you do postnups. i guess it depends on the state, but where i live you cant just have a good prenup and think you're setup forever. you have to create new contracts if there are large economic status changes or at least every so often.
No, you should hoard it all of your life so that when you die a grandnephew who never heard of you will inherit it all and waste it on luxury goods, then live as a depressed junkie constantly thinking back to the good times he had spending your money.
Since this thread is about prenups I figured I'd ask.
I've read that premarital assets aren't split in divorce. Wouldn't that mean if you got rich and then got married afterwards, you wouldn't even need a prenup?
Like hypothetically speaking, if I had 2 million dollars in a brokerage account and met a girl, married a few years later, never intermingled finances in a stupid way, then got divorced, would I still keep all that money there? What about interest gained on it?
depends on the state and would need more facts. Generally premarital property that was kept separate is off the table, but a significant disparity in earning power will necessarily result in a larger alimony from the wealthier partner. This was implemented to deal with the fact that traditionally a housewife with no job or marketable skills couldn't leave an abusive husband because they wouldn't be able to get a job and support themselves.

get a partner from a top New York firm to draft one and make your wife sign it.
then it's airtight.
he'll probably get her to sign it 3 or 5 times.

Go to /law/ homosexual
Prenups work but shit like buying a house with your money after the wedding fricks you
No
Making babies is worth it, Cohen. Marriage is irrelevant.
what's with the star of david, I don't see anything about her being israeli
Cultural Marxism
the frick does that mean
>Do prenups work?
>Is marriage worth it for men?
Good questions, no. Only marry a woman that makes more than you
Prenups get thrown out in court all the time.
this is a meme, unless you wrote it yourself it's not getting thrown out
make sure she has her own lawyer so she can't argue she didn't understand what she was signing/etc
In california, if a marriage is over 10 years it doesnt matter. Its split 50/50
marriage only works if:
>you are legitimately a chad
>shes a virgin
>part of religion that stigmatizes divorce
I think you're supposed to find a hot girl that comes from a poorgay family too. Not the trashy kind, the either humble or religious ones.
