What exactly are pre nups and why are they always shown to be a point of contention on couples?
In: 8
Pre-nup stands for pre-nuptial agreement, which is an agreement/contract signed before marriage. Most often, they are used to pre-define how assets will be split in event of a divorce. This can be very important in situations where the two partners have very different personal situations prior to marriage, or if one partner is expected to give up a career to become a dedicated stay-at-home parent or carer.
Obviously, if one partner is looking at the marriage as a lifelong bond between two soulmates, a legal document all about “what if we split up?” is a big turn off and can trigger arguments about what each partner is looking for in the marriage.
