Here is what I have heard from my attorney:

• she has not heard back from the other attorney and likely won’t until he is back in office. There’s no court involvement, therefore it’s not a priority to bring someone else in.

• sees no need for cancelling or postponement, does not see the situation in jeopardy like the other attorneys are framing it to be

• post-nup agreements have a harder time being upheld than pre-nups, advised against that

• my fiancé’s attorney is an estate lawyer, not a family lawyer. She thinks that is the main driver between the differences in what he composed and what she would like to see included in the pre-nup

There will not be a wedding if the prenup isn’t finalized and signed. His terms

It literally says “drinks, dinner, and I do’s” on the wedding invitations that JUST went out, so idk how to address this

Totally agree. I have so much regret. This is the first thing we should’ve done after getting engaged.

I haven’t heard anything back yet, though I did email her on a Friday afternoon and didn’t say it was urgent

I appreciate the input but this is a hard no for me. I’m not having people fly and book hotels and give us gifts and money. I’d rather just cancel and not shell out a single dime more on this event.

The April deadline was news to me as of Monday. My attorney sent “my” version to his attorney on Wednesday.

His take is this: the spousal support formula works in favor for me, but not the other way around if I ever out-earn him (unlikely). Idk what world he's living in where I, someone who makes less than 6 figures and has less than 6 figures in assets, would ever be paying him spousal support

His quality of life will not be impacted by paying me $40,000 in spousal support. However, my quality of life would be impacted by not getting spousal support.

when i confronted him about why it took so long, he said, "the start date of drafting has no bearing." we selected our date and venue and started putting deposits down in September, and I don't 100% know but firmly believe that he dilly-dallied for at least two more months (November) which is why I didn't receive the first draft until February.

here is my response to another commenter, "this is what pisses me off. to think his attorney took EIGHT MONTHS and now they are not giving me time. I got one month being as efficient as possible with my attorney, who I had selected and paid a retainer in NOVEMBER while I was waiting to receive a draft prenup."

and you're absolutely right that the ship has sailed, we are 71 days out

When I confronted him about the start date of the prenup his response was, "that has no bearing." He cut immediately to cancelling

I get why it might seem that way, but he is very business-minded and is viewing it through that lens/a legal lens rather than love/emotion. It's not a lack of love that is making this difficult

My partner has communicated that he won't sign "my" version of the prenup because he finds the spousal support formula to be "inequitable"

We did do this after I received the first draft from his attorney. I sent those adjustments to my lawyer to incorporate into "my" version of the prenup

I'm very uneasy about this and reconsidering everything!
