You could ask your (soon to be?) spouse to split the cost with you. Just point out that it protects both of you in the event that the unknown happens. I do suggest going to a lawyer as opposed to downloading a form from a website. Reason being, if there is a mistake somewhere, it's much easier to seek compensation from the lawyer who practices in your state than it would be to get it from some website based in California or wherever.

Doesn't necessarily matter that she makes more but since she does, it gives you the freedom to pursue other career paths while she earns. That's huge. I could have changed multiple times but didn't have that bridge money to pursue it. Go for it.

I've heard of this backfiring. A lawyer works for their client, even if someone else pays half the tab. She could end up paying half to end up with a deal that still favors him (or vice versa if they use her attorney)

If she's really concerned, she can pay another attorney $100 to review it. I suppose he'd have to help pay that fee, but all in all a prenup is not very expensive (especially if, like here, there are not that many assets to begin with).

Lawyers carry malpractice insurance for a reason. It's easier to collect from an in-state lawyer than from an out-of-state business. Given that a prenup will only cost a couple hundred bucks, it's just safer to pay a lawyer to do it. And I'm not stumping for business here--nobody here knows my real name, and I don't do prenups anyways. I'm just stating my observations based on 10+ years as a practicing attorney.

Yosof has been bent over one too many times to be able to comprehend that sharing a lawyer is right up there in the top 10 stupid list. I bet when he bought a house he used the Realtors contract too....Written to protect, the Realtor.

I never advocated sharing a lawyer. I said share the costs. I do divorces all the time where both parties pay a portion of my fee. And I make sure the parties sign documents stating that they understand I am only acting as the attorney for one of them.

A simple prenup (with minimal assets involved) is not a complex document. I've seen lots of them. There are many attorneys out there who would review a simple document like that for a reasonable price.

Gives me hope to know it could happen if something went south in my relationship. My SO is 10 younger than me and she's a more than "descent" looking. In your case, how's bruiser doing?
