Pre nuptual Agreement...?
Had an interesting call over the weekend.
My cousin called to give good news....her boyfriend of 5 years finally proposed to her and she accepted.
We are all happy for them of course and she is excited but then, she tells me that he brought up the question of getting a pre nuptual agreement.
Here is the twist on it.
- She is making more money that he is, which he has no problems with.
- His idea is that the pre nup should be good for 5 years and if thier marriage survives beyond that, let the agreement dissolve.
his ideology is that he want's to do this to protect her just in case something happens. They are an otherwise happy couple with no hang ups and 2 wonderful kids but he acknowledges how marriage changes people and God forbid if something happened and they divorce, it could get really bad.
One of thier other friends that we all know had a really ugly divorce after only 4 years but had been together for 10 and as far as we know are still fighting over property.
I told her, I think it may be a good idea...I especially like the part of it not being a long lasting agreement and I told her if that is his way of thinking, I don't think he is being selfish but in a way, pragmatic about the situation and perhaps should at least look into it.
Any thoughts or opinions?
