Pre-nuptial agreements, ermmm....yes surely?

[CopTHIS]

I've been thinking about pre-nups recently (on account of the g/f waffling on about all her friends being married etc etc etc...sigh). Anyway, my understanding is that if you marry and get divorced then even earnings before you met (yet alone got married) can be split...is this correct?

It seems odd to me but people have told me it's true (I'm in the UK if that makes any difference) and I can't find much through Google. Put another way, if A and B meet aged 32 having earned exactly the same but with A having been a big spender and B a big saver so that B has $200k, say, and A has nothing (purely on account of having spent it along the way) then is that $200k potentially split if they marry and then get divorced? I know it depends on legal wranglings etc but any info would be appreciated [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Then there is the question of approaching the subject...how to do this without sounding like an arse or getting a slap?
