Section A. Premarital Agreements 《读写教程Ⅲ》: Ex. II, p. 249
1． First, a future husband wanted to be sure that he could keep his treasured ice-cream collection if his marriage failed. Second, a woman wanted to make clear who would walk the dog. Third, one man wanted to be entitled to a divorce if his future wife gained more than 15 pounds once she married him.
2． A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, negotiated by lawyers and signed before a marriage, is mainly designed to deal with financial problems when divorce is insisted on by one party.
3． Because more and more states began passing laws based either on “splitting evenly” or on “whatever a judge thinks is ‘fair’”.
4． First, a wealthy man who has been stung once may want to avoid such future problems. Second, protecting children from a previous marriage is a strong reason.
Third, when one future partner is extremely rich while the other is poor.
5． First, any language mistakes in a prenup, even a misplaced preposition, can be disastrous. Second, a prenuptial agreement signed under pressure can cause problems. Third, there can be a dispute over premarital accords if a couple decides to divorce while living abroad, or when they have different passports.
6． Prenuptial agreements are almost ignored by British courts because English law says that circumstances of a marriage aren’t static, and therefore a judge should decide how financial assets will be divided.
7． For one thing, divorce rate in the US is very high, which is often accompanied by money problems. For another, laying bare all one’s finances can sometimes save a couple from a terrible marriage.
8． Because many people just put the prenup in a drawer and never look at it again after signing it.
