I have a prenup, but it was done for different reasons that you might think. My husband went through a very ugly divorce about ten years ago. His ex wife, to put it bluntly, is a greedy b----. We lived together for 9 years before getting married recently, and I have my own assets that I worked for before our marriage, and even before we met. My assets also include an inheritance. Since my husband has children, this can leave my assets open to be targeted by his ex wife. (Yes, this is true, kids.) My husband paid alimony for several years and also generously supports his children, even though one of them has been a legal adult for two years. (And he should!) However, should something happen to him while his younger child is still a minor, his ex could come after our joint assets and/or my assets. I wanted it made very clear when we got married that I am not responsible for the financial support of his children should anything happen to him, and that my assets were mine before the marriage and will not be intermingled with his. My husband actually suggested I do this just because his ex has a history of dragging him into court for more money. Its ironic because so many women get NOTHING from the fathers of their kids, and my husband really cares about his kids. He has sacrificed to make sure they are provided for GENEROUSLY. I guess some people are just vindictive. Anyway, I did the prenup to protect myself from the possibility of her coming after ME- albeit the chances are probably slim, I feel better that I did it. With all the divorces and re-marriages nowadays, my lawyer told me these kinds of prenups are becoming more and more common.
