Prenuptial Been living together for 14 years you have worked at home doing all duties house yard ect Now were going to get married He wants a prenup what do you get since you did'nt work.?

Answer 1

Since you have been married for 14 years you are classified as living common-law. If two people love each other then there should not be a prenuptial agreement. Some gratification should be given to the spouse who has not worked. Example: If a woman stays home (whether they have children or not) and cooks, cleans and keeps the house in order; pays bills, etc. does yard work, etc. (this includes men) and the person they are married too has built up a business on their own before marriage and prefers a prenuptial agreement so there is no red tape attached to their business, then that person should make other arrangements with compensation of other sorts. If the person is not willing to do this then marriage should be out of the question. Marriage is about sharing and having a Will. If divorce should happen then the spouse (if they retain a lawyer) will get something from their spouse, but once a prenuptial agreement has been signed by both partners and validated by a lawyer regarding a business or large pieces of property then it is generally set in stone.
