The only way I would agree to a pre-nup is if he had specific family heirlooms/ estates he wanted to keep in his family (I'm not arguing the "if I have money" deal-- I don't). I would not sign a pre-nup that would barr me from getting money that he earned (family inheritence might be different-- but probably not). Frankly, women still don't make as much as men in society, and they also tend to stay home with the kids and screw their chances of getting a high paying job later in life. I don't want to make sacrifices for the marrige or children to find out that I don't have any money if we get a divorce. I'd want to live my life as I had always livd it and not suddenly become a pauper. This sounds bitchy, but I'd want half, and there's no way I would sign away my right to get it!
