Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
prenuptual agreement question
If marrying someone that has a very very vindictive ex, how can I protect myself from her coming after my assests, income, etc. and avoiding legal fees in the event that she does try? Does a pre nup cover everything of mine and avoiding anyone (ex) from running me thru the ringer in court. I know for a fact that she tried this with his second wife already and that's why they divorced. she did not receive anything, but it destroyed their marriage and there were huge legal fees.

Re: prenuptual agreement question
Hello and Happy New Year. Under these
circumstances, I suggests that you do have a prenuptial agreement. It should outline what property is solely
yours and the fact that your husband
will be solely responsible for any litigation growing out of his previous
marriage. It is very important the
language be precise. I will be happy
to discuss this with you further and
in more detail.

You should put your property in a revokable living trust. That way you are the trustee and beneficiary. Your husband's creditors and ex wife cannot touch anything in the trust. Please call fior an appointment.
