Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

Re: pre-nuptial agreement

I'm not licensed in Mississippi -- only in Tennessee, so you should consult an attorney there to be sure, but generally speaking there would be requirement to get a prenup to avoid having your wife stuck with your debt... in fact I can't see how a prenup could possibly allow her to avoid responsibility for your debt if your creditors had a way of holding her responsible.... the prenup is strictly an agreement between you and her.... not you and your creditors

Re: pre-nuptial agreement-- Who's the WE?

Are you remarrying your spouse of 40 years, the one you divorced three years ago? How romantic! :)

Re: pre-nuptial agreement

A person does not become responsible for their spouse's debts after marriage unless

they agree, in writing, to pay the debt. A pre-nuptial agreement does not change the

obligation to pay prior debts but it may make it easier to persuade creditors that the

new wife is not responsible.
