Do you think more people are becoming comfortable with the subject of prenuptial agreements?

I’ve always been for them and I know a lot of people think they discount a marriage before it’s even entered into but… may I please share? I mean, if you stay together forever then that’s great, but if someone should happen, you know.

* when people divorce, the house usually has to be sold which means if there are kids then they end up displaced and often in new schools, away from their established friends and extracurricular activities. Not fair.

* whoever makes the most money (even if that person was a horrible partner and brought about issues leading to the divorce) usually ends up having to pay medical insurance and therapy costs for everyone. Some courts make it mandatory for children and couples to go through counseling before the divorce is made final.

* Some spouses are awarded alimony (again that spouse may have been a real piece of doo doo) and that alimony can be adjusted by a court petition every 6mos. to reflect any bonuses, raises, etc.

* One of the current rages is for a spouse receiving alimony to be declared bi polar or some other debilitating mental condition so they can get out of having to work ft or work at all.
