We didnt. We both brought property to the marriage but no prenup.

nope, and I married a divorce attorney. We each brought modest investments to the marriage and he purchased our house a few months before we got married. DH says the only thing that he would worry about by not having a prenup is permanent alimony since property in our state is typically split 50/50...so he jokes that if we ever divorce, he's running away to Aruba.

nope. I brought only college debt, and Dh isn't that kind of person.
No. We had virtually nothing though as we got married straight out of school. I had a car and he had some fly fishing rods. . . . .

Nope. We heard from family and friends to keep our money separate, to have a prenup, and we decided we wanted nothing to do with that type of thinking. Everything - even my beloved tools - are shared and shared ownership. And, boy, is that hard sometimes. I *love* my tools.... ;)

No. We both owned houses prior to getting married, too. I sold mine and moved into his. All the profits from mine went into his and my name didn't go on it ever. Sort of scary to think about, really. But, we've moved and this house has both our names.

Nope, we married right out of college, so neither of us really had an assets.

nope - but will sign a post nup soon (after 8 years of marriage).we have no intentions of divorcing, but my husband recently inherited a few hundred acres of land that has been in his family for generations and asked if I would sign a post nup. I have no problem signing it. he is also setting up a trust so that if anything happened to him, the land would go to the kids and be managed until they are of age.

Nope, and I married an attorney who deals exclusively with estate planning and those sort of issues.
Then again, we got married when I was right out of college, and him out of law school. He had a car with 300,000+ miles, I had a used car and we both had school loans.
no.. though both of us had some savings thats now in property together

No, but I don't think either one of us would have minded if the other had asked for one.
I had college debt and DH helped to pay it off. No pre-nup.
I had nothing. DH had more, but risked it.

No. Not that either of us is independantly wealthy or anything anyway, but the laws that govern marriage and inheritance in Quebec make most pre-nups kind of redundant here. So even though we were married in the US, since we live here our union is bound by Quebec law (which is civil law, not common law as most of you are under).

YES!!!! Thank heaven. I came into the relationship with more assets.
Now he is trying to contest the PN. And did I mention that he pays NO child support even though he has a legal and ethical obligation to do so????? I would not be able to provide for my children if I had not had the PN.

Nope - half of nothing is still nothing. :p

Not us. We were both right out of grad school when we got married and had nothing but debt on both sides.

No prenup, although right before we got married one of us inherited some money. But we've been together for 10 years before marriage. The money was used to buy our house, and we now have DS, so we'll be setting up a trust very soon.

Nope. We got married right out of grad school and neither one of us would have ever even thought of it.

Seeing how we were young and had no assets except our car it was not even on our radar.

Nope. We were both flat broke, and got married the Summer before our last year in college.
We also come from a background where divorce isn't really accepted. It happens, but not very often. As such, I've never known anyone in our family or social circle to get a pre-nup.

No, we didn't have too much but I had some investments and better savings than him but even if we divorced, I don't think he'd care too much about what he got out of it.

nope. We basically had nothing. DH had some savings, I had some school debt. We payed that off (and I have a slightly higher earning potential) and we're even
