YES!

People think prenups are for the rich and famous....how about the middle class who get screwed in a divorce. When I met my now ex-husband, he owned a van. He rented, he moved in my house that I had owned for 10 years, we refinanced after a few years and the birth of a child and put in a pool. That is how he got on the deed.

He lost his job, I got a new bigger job in another state, we moved, he did not work, that would be fine if he would have taken responsibility for the home and family, NO, we had a series of nannies and he hung out in bars.

Long story short, he had a mid-life crisis, Mr. nonworking, fishing trip, nascar racing, my wife does not understand me idiot that I married....so the man hit me and was arrested for domestic violence.

That was two years ago, I am still waiting for a property settlement and child support for the two children he pays no attention to. He will not live in our house, he will not pay the bills and he will not sign the papers to sell it. I have moved to a place I can afford, near my family. Yet I still have to pay the bills on a house no one wants.....the state of NC has done NOTHING to help me and I continue down this path of credit destruction, unable to provide for my children.

IF I had had a prenup, he would not have been able to do this to us, my house would be sold, he would never have had control...protect yourself, get a prenup, even if you don't have much.
