" I divorced a few years ago. Since then, Ive bought a house and have saved up a fair amount in my 401(k). Now, Im getting remarried. Do I need a pre-nup? Im the ultimate romantic, but I am also a realist. And the reality is that theres a better than 50 percent chance that your marriage wont last. So in my opinion, deciding whether to have a prenuptial agreement is incredibly simple. If you make significantly more money or have more money than your soon-to-be husband, its a no-brainer. Heres why:   For all property that you have commingled and built up while married, without a pre-nup in place, most states will split it evenly between you and your ex at the time of divorce. If you take your home and your assets and put your fianc\u00E9s name on them, he can literally file for a divorce a year later and get half of those assets   Or consider this scenario: You spend a decade building a business by yourself, but if you get divorced without having a pre-nup in place, you may actually have to buy your husband out of your business the one he didnt build while you work to keep running it.   Finally, without a prenuptial agreement, if you do get divorced, you may end up spending thousands of dollars on attorneys, fighting over your finances.   So be smart. Hire an attorney today and draw up a pre-nup (and dont accept a sunset provision, which would allow the agreement to expire). Finally, have it witnessed and notarized, and dont lose it keep it in a safe-deposit box or fireproof safe. I hope you never need it. But trust me if you do, youll be glad you have it.
