You act as though this situation is new or unique to businesses. They deal with married business partners every day, and they don't do it by forcing everyone to get post-nups.
I challenge you to find an attorney that would advise her to sign any such post-nup. Maybe a reasonable stock buy-back in the event of a divorce, but asking for a post-nup is completely beyond the pale.
- Nadya 9y agoOh - I agree a reasonable stock buy-back is the better alternative option with a better result for most relationships. >I challenge you to find an attorney that would advise her to sign any such post-nup. You couldn't as there's no benefit for her to doing so - especially if she ever decides to leave him.
- wolfgke 9y ago> I challenge you to find an attorney that would advise her to sign any such post-nup. On the other hand, not signing it is a clear sign that she is not supportive to keep her partner's business as free as possible from liabilities.
- crusso 9y ago"not signing it is a clear sign" Not signing it would be a clear sign that he should find a normal every-day method of solving his "business partner is married" issue that doesn't involve a first-strike measure to leave her out in the cold because his side-projects are now worth money. The funny thing is that on top of my business experience with using stock agreements to get around this issue in a business I helped to found, I've also dealt with coming into a bunch of money shortly after being married. Trying to get my wife to sign a post-nup agreement would have been horribly obnoxious and asking for strife.
