Default Prenup?

This must be "Second (Third, whatever) Time Around Day" here in TOTVland. I see two active threads on the topic of remarriage. So along those lines, I would like to throw a third one out there for discussion.

Prenup?

What do I think?

I think at the point we have reached in life, to marry without a prenup is crazy.

And if your lovah says that you are being unromantic and untrusting, you had best do some reconsidering and maybe some serious running.

I have known of some real messes made by later in life marriage without a prenup. It's not just about protecting assets for your kids, although that seems to be everyone's first thought. It's about protecting assets for yourself.

Or might it sometimes just be easier to do things like K. T. Oslin sings about in "Live Close By, Visit Often"?

So what do you think?

btw I remember once at work when I got into a big argument over this one. It got pretty heated, though goodnatured. It was actually kind of fun to argue about. It gave me the opportunity to create awful scenarios for my opponent to imagine himself in. It was a great debate. And at the end, we decided that we could never get married. ;D
