However, today, more and more young people are entering into prenups. Young people are marrying later than before, and by the time they are married, they have some property. Even if their nest egg is small, they want to protect it. Young people are more educated. They want to protect their professional licenses, degrees.
Women come into marriages today and want to protect careers.
Even if they don't have property, they have debts such as student loans, and these need to be discussed and worked out in a prenuptial agreement. Most states require that you enter into a prenup knowingly and voluntarily. Those are very vague terms and the best to prove that you knew what you where doing and you weren't pressured into signing the agreement is for each party to have an attorney. Here you have a situation where there's a difference of opinion and where you have an instance of the need to compromise. If your partner doesn't want to listen to your concerns and is not interested in compromising, you are learning something about your partner that you may not have known.
