On the off-chance that you find yourself falling for the marriage meme how do you set up a good prenuptial agreement?

>> No.977011

There's nothing to fall for if you find an actual woman whose an actual Christian and not a whore of modernity.

Protip: If you're only getting married and having kids because she wants you to, it's not gonna last.

My wife stands to inherit way more than I do and we both are going to be making six figures. Don't need a pre-nup.

Well I'm an atheist, so that's not super helpful, but I do appreciate the effort.

Unless you (or whoever you're marrying) is stupidly rich, then if you feel you NEED a pre-nup, you should re-consider the marriage itself

>> No.977046

This has been discussed many times. I am not a lawyer, but this is what I have learned from people who are lawyers and people who have went through divorces, on 4chan and on other forums.

Prenups are essentially worthless, and only about half of it has to do with feminism.

Marriage is a legal contract between two people and the government. You are legally agreeing to pool your resources, even if you both keep separate bank accounts. Everything you make is half hers as stated in the contract.

The less you have before the marriage and the less you gain during the marriage are the biggest factors for your settlement, alimony, and child support.

The only way out of a marriage without losing big is not having children and not accumulating a large amount of assets during the marriage.

Infidelity clauses are where prenups can really shine though. As long as she can't prove you were abusive or a real life kuck, then you will usually be able to end the marriage without a settlement, assuming you don't have kids though.

Fact: There is no prenup that protects you after you have had children.

If you look at it from a purely legal perspective, children are essentially the same as bringing a third party into a partnership. Legally, you would have to renegotiate the initial contract to represent the new changes in the agreement. This is why the prenup gets torn to shreds in court.

I've read of some people "hiding" assets by giving them away to someone they trust. Technically not theirs anymore.

One options may be to put your wealth into something like expensive watches or something similar that doesn't depreciate much in value if at all. Just make sure to keep them hidden. You could even buy gold and bury it and make a treasure map like a pirate if you want to. I'm not sure if a lawyer can look at bank statements before a marriage to determine if assets have been hidden though

This is where you simply say you enjoyed gambling before the marriage. That 300k you took out over 4 years? Lost in Vegas. No paper trail.

Good call friend.

I have $50k now and plan on having at least $200k by 30. I'd be a pain in the ass to have to bury it and pretend I'm broke just in case of a divorce in 10 years. Like the anon above said, it's probably best just to find a girl that's got similar assets. That may be a pipe dream though, not sure.

From my own experience this isn't true.

People throw their principles out pretty easily, if convenient.

/redpill/ fags please. Women deserve every cent they gain from alimony and child support. Besides, everyone on /biz/ is a virgin so their advice is pointless.

It doesnt matter if you both make money. The lawyers will still destroy your savings. Its common to think the woman rapes the man in divorce but the reality is the lawyers rape both parties until there is nothing left.

Yes agreed. Women put in their valuable time and an equal amount of money into a relationship, they should receive an equal compensation to that. It's only fair.

Holy shit just don't get married you dumb fucks.

If you need to literally plan out how you're going to hide your money from your wife maybe it's a better idea to only have a girlfriend(where commonlaw marriage isn't a thing) OR just not get married.

There is precedence of Prenuptial agreements thrown out by the courts. b/c duress

You cannot rely on this contract form to be held up.

Tho only surefire way is to retain control of an asset without direct ownership.
Trusts and LPs are the way to go
but even they can be fucked with if they didn't exist before you started dating. Goddamn judges have their hands tied by precedence on this.

People who are smart with their money always hedge their bets. Today the only way to hedge your bets aganist marriage is to avoid the whole institution.
