Wealthy no happier in marriage than others—just fear financial impact of divorce
Money can’t buy me love
The Beatles were right, at least according to a survey reported in Forbes. According to the article, a survey of those with a net worth of $1,000,000 or more found almost half of the respondents unhappy in their marriage. More surprising was the fact that 61% of the women surveyed and 43% of the men admitted to being unfaithful within the last 3 years. However, even though almost half were unhappy in their marriage, only 30% said they were contemplating divorce. The reason? According to three-quarters of the men, the fear as to how much money they would lose in a divorce. 51% of the women cited the number one reason for not divorcing was “interference with business dealings.”
The most telling aspect of the study was only about 6% of the respondents had a prenuptial agreement. A properly drafted prenuptial agreement may be able to protect your hard-earned assets in a divorce in Mississippi. If you are considering marriage in Mississippi, you should discuss the issue with your future spouse. While some are reluctant to bring up the issue feeling that it indicates they will divorce in the future, the fact is in today’s society, it is more than a possibility. A prenuptial agreement is an insurance policy. None of us plan on tragedy striking our lives, but we all plan for it everyday when we buy insurance. A prenuptial agreement is similar. Discuss the issue with your fiancé and discuss the matter with an experienced attorney.
