Hi my friend! I'm growing very fond of your comments because they make me laugh, too. That disclaimer at the end was meant to add a little lightheartedness and humility to the piece. :)

The first bit about evil ex-spouses is a satirical exaggeration of what some other people think of when talking about divorce and the necessity of a prenup. I don't believe the majority of ex husbands or wives are "evil" either. I 100% agree with you that both parents are responsible for their children, regardless of their marital status.

I do think there may be some room for consideration if one party is significantly more wealthy than the other...but I also think that if you aren't 100% confident as to whether or not your partner is trying to marry you for your assets, you probably shouldn't be marrying them. (I feel bad for the super rich and celebrities of the world - it is so much harder for them.)

Side note: this article idea came up during a conversation I had with some colleagues a few weeks ago where they all wholeheartedly agreed that prenups were a great idea. (Mind you, none of them were particularly affluent.) It got me thinking about how people think of marriage in relationship to their finances and assets. This was just my way of processing and rationalizing my own thoughts on the subject.

Anyway, thanks for reading! Have a lovely day.
