Yeah it’s really not an insane request. Like in California that 10 year anniversary is always a big one because if you get divorced after 10 years you get more in the settlement.
Marriage still is and always has been to some degree a business transaction tbh. No matter how much people romanticize it lol.
I kind of don’t mind the idea of the longer you were together the more you’re entitled to. You did your time so to speak lol.
Ia. Admittedly, my knee-jerk reaction was to say something negatively too, especially considering it's Britney. But when one party of the marriage makes significantly more than the other, it makes sense to have a prenup. Hell, even in regular marriages, lawyers recommended drafting a prenup because you should never made big decisions when you're angry and someone's guaranteed to be angry or emotional when it comes to divorce.
Oh, that's interesting! This is kinda OT but out of curiosity, would you say that the divorce rate is higher or lower for couples married with a prenup? Because one thing I've always wondered about is whether or not it plants seeds of resentment before the marriage has even begun (ie. "We're not even married yet and you're already planning for divorce? Do you even love me???" LOL). Logically, I know it makes sense but damn is it awkward to bring up and discuss. It almost feels like a threat to some degree. :/
I only worked in family law briefly because it’s terrible tbh. It’s all very dramatic and often very sad (like when kids are involved) so I honestly don’t know.
I think it largely depends on how solid you are going into it (which I think goes for any marriage prenup or not). If you go into it with some fairytale in your head it’s probably not gonna work out lol.
If you have good communication and trust each other then you should be able to view a prenup as the practicality it is.
I do have a friend who is fairly well off and his fiancé started getting very weird about putting her name on the deed of his house (he owned it before meeting her) and he kept being like “yes, we will when we’re legally married” and she got very offended and ended up calling it off. I feel like it was for the best though. Like she was an attorney she shouldn’t have been so surprised by him wanting to wait. It didn’t make a lot of sense to me unless she was trying to pull one over on him tbh.

That's true... Doesn't make that bubble any less scary to burst but I guess in a way, it's like the ultimate test in trust and communication before you make everything official.
The 10 and 20 year anniversaries are huge. There was a celebrity couple where one of them filed for divorce a few days before one of those big/landmark anniversaries. Now I can't remember who it was but that detail was brought up a lot in the media. For some reason, I thought it was Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman but wikipedia tells me that Tom filed for divorce about six weeks after their 10 year anniversary so I have no idea who the couple in question was.
