A simple prenup (with no significant assets) takes about 30 minutes, and most lawyers charge around $300 to $400 per hour.
I'm sure that some can inflate that to a few hours, but many small-firm attorneys are hungry for work and are not out there trying to pad the bill. They know that having a happy client (who will tell others) is more important than bleeding every last cent out of the poor soul who needs their services.

The more i listen , the more I see...
You go right ahead, get a guy who is 50, owns real estate, has a pension, 401K, IRA's, vehicles, and a woman who owns close to the same and a prenup done, inked and recorded for $200.
.I'd love to be a mouse in the corner when you walk around the desk to console a crying client...
Well, the way I see it: If you wouldn't have paid some loser back room law associate $200 to do your prenup, you wouldn't be homeless right now.... How was he to know the requirements for financial disclosure, employment history and wages, and your previous bankruptcy would come into play?....
