--
One of the common myths or misconceptions regarding couples getting married later in life is that many assume that a prenuptial agreement protects the assets of one spouse when the other spouse goes into a nursing home and attempts to qualify for long term care Medicaid.
When couples get married later in life, they often mistakenly assume that when one spouse goes into a nursing home, only that spouse's assets must be spent down prior to Medicaid qualification. However, while the spouse in the nursing home can have only $2,000 of countable resources, the spouse at home (known as the "Community Spouse") may only have $128,640 of countable resources. Excess assets must be spent down on the care of the spouse in the nursing home (known as the "Institutionalized Spouse") prior the the institutionalized spouse being eligible for Long Term Care Medicaid.
While a prenuptial agreement, marriage contract, separate property agreement (call it what you want) can be helpful in keeping each spouse's assets separate - to be inherited by the child or children of each spouse at death, a prenuptial agreement doesn't provide assistance in the way of long term care Medicaid planning should one or both spouses enter the nursing home and seek Medicaid qualification.

The original intent and purpose, for the prenuptial agreement was the act of preventing either partner from abusing the legitimacy of a true, honest, faithful marriage. Before, and when each partner sat down before a legal binding contractual agreement, under a supervision from a lawyer, would fully understand the legal findings with NA prenuptial agreement that would happen after a full understanding of disclosures and clauses were clearly identified. In the clause of a true and legal binding prenuptial agreement would clearly explain that if either partner was unfaithful to one another that, the said individual would forfeit any and all supporting rights under a divorce when the faithful party would possess all rights and claims over assets and custody over children, because of the unfaithful partners, extra marital affairs, or the dishonesty of entering a true binding loyal marriage. Many are under the assumption that prenuptial agreements, only protect, rich billionaire men from Golddigger females which, is absolutely faults and incorrect! Prenuptial agreements are not solely for protecting individuals from losing assets and financial wealth from a fraudulent marriage! Prenuptial agreements were meant to uphold the very old traditional marriage laws that were in affect from the 1800 time frame and earlier. Yes, it was an agreement to uphold faithfulness between each other. It wasn’t until later that the purpose and meaning of the prenuptial agreement was tainted with faults accusations as to miss trust. The original intentions for both couples to agree to a prenuptial agreement was to agree that both couples were entering into a marriage that was pure and purely based on faithful love towards one another, and if one violated the covenant of marriage, then they lost all protections and rights under a divorce proceeding.

Divorce Frank

[@luvyjaboin8211]

This is good! I knew this was the case. When I learned what a Pre-nup was I was thinking “There is so many ins and outs” it’s not really worth it. Of course to each his own and I understand the priority and security of paperwork but marriage is more predictable than divorce 😂 Also,states and regulations can change too,unfortunately. That’s what they don’t tell you 🤷🏽‍♀️ Might as well WING IT. I think marriage needs to be seen as more of a commitment than just merely a binding of love. It’s very serious & coming with honesty is the best policy. Not merely because of integrity but also,a divorce can still be messy whether you have the paperwork or not. Family and estate planning I would rather just do it the traditional way,and forsake the pre-nup. There is so many stereotypes about a pre-nup that are super wrong.

[@overlord3481]

Not really the traditional way, considering that men in the past got out just fine after a divorce, because it was easier to hide your assets and the court system wasn't as feminist as it is now. Traditional marriages are dead in the US.

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

99percent of women say they prefer to do it without prenup. Funfact though 95 percent of women stand to gain from their spouses than men gain from them. Also 9/10 divorces are initiated by women...possible correlation? Better to secure a "parachoute fund for yourself as a man.

[@julien8097]

yeah i'll never get legally married

[@neisanland2503]

prenup is good if you don't have a child ever, never have a child. if you get a child. prenup goes down the trash can.

[@ar3nit616]

That's ridiculous bro, I'm a man and I'm going to reproduce... marriage no...🤷‍♂️

[@KS-cl8br]

@\\xyz You don't become common law just by living together, you have to also call each other your spouse and have proof or witnesses asserting this was the case.

[@KS-cl8br]

U never have a kid. Other guys can.

[@stephengreico504]

Yea they get the money but using the children because they just name whatever number they want and if they know how much you have then they go after it

[@Delimon007]

This right here, if you have a child you might as well throw that crap in the trash

[@deloresgrey2260]

I have to quit smoking, that's not fair to Elon's assests.

[@ayiesha84]

You could be stuck paying for child support

[@thomasjust2663]

Get to the point dude, video is too long

[@chrisfisher4503]

This scenario is non-sense. Let's do the REAL scenario. The MAN has all the money. HE gets the prenup. SHE bangs the poolboy and he tosses her out. Then SHE burns the prenup and takes it all.

[@madeasimmons9746]

Never get married

[@CosmosChill7649]

The state should get out of marriage, like in China

[@moslimislam5714]

This vid would be 1:30 min long without the unnescesary storyline.

[@michaeldunagan8268]

Yah, but the store line added context for me, so ...

[@FrequentFlyer_MIA]

Stay single

[@robd1859]

Does this law work the same way if you have a gold-digging wife that'll try to take everything you got in divorce

[@michaeldunagan8268]

From what I've been watching on red pill videos the past 3 years: Yes.
