She thought the prenup was fair -- but it wasn't (Advice)
Jan Warner and Jan Collins
Orlando Sentinel
Question: My husband, a physician, and I, a registered nurse, met when we both worked at a hospital. He divorced his third wife but demanded that I sign a premarital agreement before we married 16 years ago, which I did after getting legal advice from a lawyer referred to me by my husband. My husband told me not to worry about the agreement, that he simply needed it to keep his partners happy because they did not want me involved in their business.
Today, I am 48 and have three children; my husband is 61. I have not worked since we married, have developed health problems and lost my nursing license. The agreement says that should we get divorced for whatever reason, both of us waived support and all property would belong to the person who held title. All I own is my car. Everything else is in my husband's name.
