    Default Division of Assets Under a Prenuptial Agreement

    We had pre-nuptial done before getting married. In the pre-nuptial, we listed the amount of money in each individual personal account, assests, boats, cars, & 401K, and claimed to self.

    What is my right to the assest, which I waived the right to disagree if she wants to sell it, but I have put in money to upgrade the house before and after the marriage?

    What is my and her right to the adding amount of money in each individual account and 401K after marriage?

    Besides, after getting married we bought two properties togeter. Both names are on the deed and morgage. Will each party claim 50% regardless who pays more or less on the future renovation?

    At a bare minimum you need to identify your state. Even then it may not be possible to give you much help without seeing the actual prenup and knowing some of your present circumstances.

    Is there an option?
    We were married, paid tax, work and live 5 of 7 days in CT.

    So you are stating that you will be divorcing in Connecticut, then, and that it is your state of legal residence.

    Unhappy Re: Division of Assets Under a Prenuptial Agreement

    Thank you, Dr. Knowitall.
    I had done the homeowrk and reviewed CT. Statute before posting the questions.
    It sounds like you suggested me to have a lawyer to answer questions. I will do so; however, can you direct me to the statute about division of "post-Marriage" assessts? That is my main concern.

    I am not planning on divorcing at this moment, but I want to know what my right is. I did not learn the lesson from the first two marraiges and still believe in good human nature; however, I do know I cannot afford to rebuild my retirement at the age of 55.

    Q1 - What is my right to the assest, which I waived the right to disagree if she wants to sell it, but I have put in money to upgrade the house after the marriage?

    Q2- What is my and her right to the adding ( after marriage) amount of money in each individual account and 401K after marriage?

    Q3 after getting married we bought two properties togeter. Both names are on the deed and morgage. Will each party claim 50% regardless who pays more or less on the future renovation?[/QUOTE]

    You should consult a divorce lawyer and go over your situation and assets in detail with your lawyer, so you can get an accurate assessment of what is and is not marital property, and how a court is likely to divide it.
