I just had this discussion with the family law attorney who bought our office building. Per her, inherited property. isn't considered community property (in Louisiana) as long as you keep it separate. If you comingle funds or put her name on it in any way...well, that's how the fight starts.

The prenup is my compromise with my wife. I’d rather sell in 10 years and be done working. She has some romanticized vision of a generational business - I don’t.

Look at this boomer that hates his kids

Yes. They are not bulletproof. In my situation, both spouses were lawyers when we entered into the prenup. Executed in front of our law partners and notarized. My ex wife treated it as a mere ornament and my weak lawyer caved. Worth it in terms of getting rid of the trash.

Kicker, she had a long affair with another law partner in her firm. He did not have a prenup. Got taken to the house.

Prenups are always recommended, but always plan for the worst.

You can’t have a common law marriage in Louisiana unless you established one first in another State and the moved to Louisiana. If you lived always in Louisiana, there is no marriage without a ceremony.

First of all, in my humble opinion, feeling that you need a prenup isn't a good sign unless it's just your standard sugar daddy scenario.



Half of marriages end in divorce.
Is that not enough reason to get a prenup ?
Actually a 50% failure rate should make you question the intelligence of getting married to begin with.
Getting married with a prenup is dangerous enough.
Getting married without a prenup is pure stupidity.

I wouldn't know, but this thread has been very illuminating.

My family operates a little differently than most so my views and perceptions are based on my upbringing and family values.

An attorney explained that everyone that gets married has a prenup.
A prenup that was written by The State.
Hire an attorney to draft a prenup that meets your specifications, or be stuck with the prenup that The State drafted for you.

Well said.
