Pre-nup or no pre-nup

[Little Missy]

Nope. Depends upon the person and his values. If you are confident about the partner you choose, why bother?

Tsaka may legitime naman sa Pinas.

The thing is wala talagang guarantee kahit sa kasal. We are imperfect people na may sariling pag iisip and people change. Most naman yan started out well pero reality is meron pa din talagang nagfifail na marriage.

Daming takot sa kasal dahil sa repercussions in case it fails. So they would rather explore cohabilitation. But there are studies linking premarital cohabilitation to divorce. Also, hindi ma maximize yung full lawful benefit ng kasal, hence kahit same *** couple fight for their right to be wed. Also imo lugi ang babae sa live in set up.

So ang sa akin, if isa sa fear eh yung financial consequences, edi get a pre-nup.

Ano ba kinakatakot o ayaw ng mga tao sa prenup?

[Jun aka Pekto]

If I was filthy rich? Of course, I'll have a prenup. She can take it or leave it. She choose to leave? Bu-bye.

Also, I will never marry any woman who has boatloads of debt. Couples should disclose their debts to each other before tying the knot.

Especially here in the US. You never know if your SO has student debts in the 6 figures $$$. YOU'LL be the one paying for it.

Forget that. No woman is beautiful enough for me to start paying off her debt.

could you elaborate why?I thought it should be the other way around

Awkward if the wealthier party brings it up. You risk offending the other party because it could be misconstrued as implying the other party is after your money. Better if the less wealthy party offers. Proof pa that the marriage is done in good faith.

This really affects the upper 1% siguro of the population sa pinas. The rest, kahit middle class, do not have much to split anyway. Easier pa nga separation sa mga mahihirap. They just go separate ways.[emoji16]

Concern lang to ng mga 1) self-made as previously mentioned who risk losing a significant portion of their wealth or 2) old money parents na magpapamana ng pera nila sa anak (and indirectly sa future in-law).

I have a colleague who married young and matagal nang hiwalay. Ngayong 40s na siya ngayon siya nag process ng annulment pero denied. Reason niya is, at this age ngayon siya nakakapundar ng mga properties. Sa mata ng batas, her "husband" has rights sa assets niya. Eh may 2 siyang anak sa current partner (isang anak dun sa husband, bale 3 kids).

Depending on the situation, nagiging problem pa din ang pera even after hiwalayan.

Mahirap lang sila nung naghiwalay ni walang pera pang pa-annul. Tapos one day yung isa nanalo sa lotto.

Di ba pwedeng legal separation na lang? Iirc, separate assets na pag legally separated. Di na kailangan annulment. Unless she wants to remarry, then same risk sakaling maghiwalay din sila nung current partner... Unless of course, prenup.

[BratPAQ]

How long do you think the couple should wait after the proposal to negotiate about the prenup? Should it be settled even before any wedding plans was discussed?

I'm curious because the proposal is like "I love you..." but the prenup is "... but".

Agree ako sa pre-nup, hindi naman sa kawalan ng tiwala yun..
Same sa binanggit ni LM, lahat naman ng kasal nagsimula sa maganda, wala naman siguro nag-plano ng kasal para lang mag-fail din sa huli.. Kung pareho naman nagmamahalan, hindi ko alam bakit magiging issue ang pre-nup agreement..

OT: Ayaw ko din baguhin surname ko kapag nagpakasal na ako.. [emoji28]
Yung main topic pala, kailangan mayaman.. Hindi po ako mayaman pero agree ako sa pre-nup..
