> Asking for the postnup introduces distrust into the dynamic.
What he is doing is just good business practice: He wants to keep the business as free as possible of liabilities. Her not willing to sign is what introduces distrust: It implies that she at least want to leave her the optinion open to run away with money from his business.
- crusso 9y agoNo. There are ways that the business can protect itself for various events. For example, I was a founder in a business years ago. We included clauses in the stock buy-back agreement that could be triggered upon various events (death of a partner, divorce, etc.) Normally, those kinds of clauses ensure that the non-partner-spouse gets the value of the business owed to him/her, but loses decision-making control of the business. You don't have to force your partner to sign a trust-breaking post-nup in order to have those kinds of protections for the business.

- AnimalMuppet 9y agoYour answers seem to be coming from the perspective that the business is more important than the marriage. That's not a perspective that many people here share; your one-line replies that assume your perspective aren't going to go very far to persuade people.
