      The closest thing to a fairytale ending I ever got was to be a father after wanting to be one for more than a quarter of a century.  Everyone else comes second to my daughter, who will inherit everything I have, which translates to a prenup being mandatory.

     Well, in the state of California, or in any state recognizing equality in divorce proceedings, half of joint assets/income are awarded each party. So one might assume the person seeking the prenup has no interest in sharing half of it. Maybe they had it a long time, first. Maybe they have been through it once or twice already. Maybe there are children to protect. Whatever the reason, they feel a need to limit the after-the-love-is-gone distributions. I am ambivalent about it, I can see pros and cons of them. I thought that in California a person could only get 50% of the INCREASE in the other person's assets from the date of marriage to the divorce date. Is this true?  |

     Do you believe in a prenup if there is a big asset discrepancy? Yes.. when I first got married ( at 18) I insisted on one... so when it ended she got the 1973 Pinto hatchback and my Jimmy Hendricks's posters (including the black light)  |
