Since neither one had any assets or money, they ended up doing a "do-it-yourself divorce"- no lawyers were involved. They filled out all of their own paperwork and represented themselves the one time they actually had to appear in court. I think it only cost them $100 in filing and court fees. Not sureif you could do that in all states (This was Ohio).

As for the pre-nup, I like the idea of the experation date in theory, but it could get a little sticky if they decide to pull a Donald Trump. I don;t know if you can put in any other continencies- such as they have to go to couseling before separating (and if they don't then the prenup holds) or something.

wait. they have children - together, right? not from previous relationships? i don't see how a prenup is going to be advantageous for anyone here.

This doesn't have anything to do with a pre-nup....I know in some states, when children are involved, parental counseling is required.

Pre nupts are common when property and spousal support is involved...children very rarely have nothing to do with any pre marital contracts.

here is something interesting

A sunset provision may be inserted into a prenuptial agreement, specifying that after a certain amount of time, the agreement will expire. In a few states, such as Maine, the agreement will automatically lapse after the birth of a child, unless the parties renew the agreement. In other states, a certain number of years of marriage will cause a prenuptial agreement to lapse. In states that have adopted the UPAA (Uniform Prenuptial Agreement Act), no sunset provision is provided by statute, but one could be privately contracted for.

NOTHING =/= ANYTHING

I know you're trying to keep up your ghetto rep here, but you just gave your sentence the exact opposite meaning. Please, learn to express yourself correctly.

Whether it was a typo, poor grammar, or a horrible attempt at "slang," I knew what you meant based on the context.

It certainly wasn't "ghetto" and I don't see you as trying to keep up a "ghetto rep." Whatever the hell that is.

Your spelling is always ghetto. Trust me, I read the NPHC forums, and none of them type consistently like you do. When you're in the Random Spurts thread and you type that something is "DA TROOF", it's cute. When you are trying to have an intelligent discussion, it's not. You tend to get way too heated and your arguments hardly ever make sense.

Lots of people do the "do it yourself" divorce thing, I know several couples who were married for 15-20 years who have done it, just to save money.

I know you can do a no-frills dissolusion for filing and court costs in Ohio, but I think it's around $400 and a one-month process. Still, it's too easy.

Luckily, it takes longer to disolve a marriage than get into one. Maybe it will encourage couples to think about their vows it a little bit before pulling the plug.
