Prenuptial Agreement Basics

A prenuptial agreement has become a normal part of the marriage process in the west, but it can also become a point of contention for a Russian bride. In the interest of protecting yourself and your hard-earned assets, here is some advice to approach the subject.

Why you need to sign this before you get married

No matter how you try to broach the subject of a prenuptial agreement, a Russian woman will think that you are saying that you do not trust her. Of course, this is not the case, but it only means that you will keep what you already had going into the relationship. Even the most loving of relationships on the surface might be a ploy to get money out of you. If you’ve been divorced, you may feel that you don’t want to make that kind of scene again.

If you can not get your fiancée to sign a prenuptial agreement, and you are still convinced that you want to get married, then there are ways to protect yourself. You will want to seek legal help to make sure that you are handling this process correctly—so get a good lawyer. You will probably just have to protect your assets through your company. This makes your things separate from the marriage relationship, and thus, unable to be split in the event of a divorce.

A prenuptial is a sticky subject for any relationship, so if you feel that it would only cause more grief, then try to avoid it. You still have ways to protect your financial standing, so take those steps prior to the marriage and you can feel safe no matter what.
