I didn't have a pre-nup when I got married and heres why.

First of all niether of us had a dime when we got married. So pretty much everything we've aquired has been from both of us. So splitting it down the middle would be no big deal to me.

Im in court EVERY day. I see pre-nups work the same as not having one. I see people getting out of their marriage with the things they brought to the marriage. With everything aquired during the marriage split down the middle. Pre-nup or not.

Now with that being said. Ive seen judges award personal property of either party to the other for payment or money owed. Lets say I owed my ex $3,500 in my share of rent, child support, or maybe even closing cost on the house. If I can't come up with the money Ive seen the judge award property valued of owed jointly debts.

Ofcourse throw in the crooks, I meen lawyers, and anything can happen.

Here about the only reason I would recomend a pre-nup. Say a wife doesn't work but is married for 20 years. She has a earning potential. She can ( and probably will) sue her husband for her lost wages while she sat at home, working. A pre-nup however couldn't stop a good lawyer from getting her a paycheck, but could save you from her getting any more than that.
