Yeah you've mentioned before that IF you did it, you have this super Pre-Nup/Incorporation structure that's impossible for a chick to break into. I guess if you can manage to do that, it would be great in terms of reducing risks.
- My first question to you is this....are you familiar with the way many Pre-Nups get set aside? It's basically where a chick gets pregnant and decides to stay home with the kids for "X" number of years. Once the divorce takes place, she will argue that her marketplace skills were destroyed and thus, should be able to secure a portion of all future earnings. What legal structure do you have to combat that?
- Second question is this.....I have not met any woman that was even halfway decent that would agree out of the gate to signing a Pre-Nup. So you mentioned before that if a chick won't sign it, you will NEXT HER. But with the very limited amount of women that would even be in the running for a marriage, wouldn't you eventually run out of prospects?
As to the first part, a well-written prenup should make allowances for not only the division of post-marital assets, but all contingencies, variances, incidentals, limitations, subsequent unconscionability of terms, unforeseeable events or circumstances, and estate upon your death. Her loss of wealth and marketable skills should she stay home is subsumed in clear language within this. Of course, the prenup must be “fair” as defined by your jurisdiction, so it should include some type of payoff if she didn’t work, tended to your lineage after X years of marriage while you went out there to freely take over the world, so ensure her value to you accounts for that.
As to the second part, you state “out of the gate.” Does this mean you are raising this topic before she pushes for LTR or marriage. This is the wrong way to go about it.
First she pushes for exclusivity.
Next she pushes with, “Where is this going?”
Then she pushes for marriage. Assuming you’re interested to pursue this At this point, tell her, “ I’m not keen with the state having power over our marriage. Let’s have a religious ceremony and hold ourselves out as a married couple.” Some women will be fine with this.
If she pushes for the marriage license and you are willing to entertain this, only then do you proceed with, “marriage under the state is a very precarious endeavor. In the event anything changes between you and I, we must ensure you and I are protected and in agreement and not subject to an inequitable court system that could work against you or me, and serve the best interests of our kids. I’ll have my attorney prepare a prenup and we’ll retain a separate attorney for you to ensure it’s fair ... for the both of us.”
If she declines the prenup, dump her or string her along until she leaves. She’s after resources as her “need” is contrived.
