Man, what a mess.
One the one hand, I think if you don't trust the person you're marrying you shouldn't get married.
On the other hand, you can't tell what's going to happen in the future. They could develop a personality disorder, or get hit on the head and change into a raving lunatic, or just turn out to be a really good liar who takes you for everything.
I think it's a case-by-case thing. But a pre-nup is different from a will. We all know we're going to die eventually. A will is preparing for death. How is a prenup not preparing for divorce, a not-so-certain eventuality, statistics be damned?
You might better spend the money on a good pre-marital counselor and a private investigator and a looooooong courtship, instead of legal fees.
