Yes. If you have children, you should have a pre nup.
Re: marriage and money
Not everything is necessarily split down the middle. Only what is considered "marital asset," what has been accumulated or enhanced during the marriage, is normally distributed equally (with some exceptions, of course). If the pre-marital assets are comingled with the marital assets, for instance, it might be difficult to leave your individual portion out of the property being distributed equally at the time of dissolution. A pre-marital agreement would not hurt, if you think you can approach the subject with your future spouse.
