Recently, a soon-to-be-married friend of mine and I got to talking about prenuptial agreements. We only spoke about it jokingly since he clearly has no need for a prenup, but my interest was piqued nonetheless. I personally don’t think I could ever ask someone to sign a prenup before I marry her, but I’ve always been a bit curious as to how you’d go about broaching the subject, what constitutes a valid prenup, etc.
I found this article on Bankrate, which has a lot of good info on prenups. It covers topics like: who should ask for a prenup (besides the wealthy and untrusting), when you should ask for one (the earlier the better), and what constitutes a valid prenup (it probably shouldn’t be written on a napkin ). Most notably absent from the article was how you actually get someone to agree to marry you in the first place. Thanks for nothing, Bankrate. www.howtopickupchicks.com, here I come!
