該不該簽訂婚前協議大綱
Do You Have a Business?
你們是不是有自己的公司？Think about your jobs. If one of you owns their own business, it may be important to have a prenup in place to protect the business assets in case your marriage comes to an end. Shaolaine Loving, a principal attorney, says that a prenup can protect business efforts and interests.
想想你們的工作。如果你們之間有一個人有自己的公司，那簽訂婚前協議可能還是很重要的，因爲萬一離婚了，婚前協議還可以保護你的企業資產。首席律師Shaolaine Loving說道，婚前協議可以保護企業投入和利益。"If one of you has or later forms a business, then laws can provide that your spouse deserves half of whatever income or assets were realized during the marriage, or that your spouse should receive half ownership interest. You can dictate in a prenup so that you keep your own business interests. Essentially, the prenup ensures you to control the outcome of a potential divorce."
"如果你們中有一個擁有或以後會成立一家公司，那麼法律規定你的配偶應該得到婚姻期間該公司的一半收入或資產，或者你的配偶應該獲得一半的所有權益。你可以在婚前協議中註明這一點，以此保護自己的企業利益。從本質上來說，婚前協議能確保你控制潛在離婚的結果。"
Do Either of You Have Debt?
你們倆有沒有欠債？Be sure to have an open and honest money conversation with your spouse-to-be. Do they have any outstanding debt? If so, how much? Loving says that if debt is present, having a prenup can ensure each spouse's debt remains in their name.
請務必與您將來的配偶開誠佈公的談論財務狀況。他們是不是欠下很多債？如果是這種情況，欠了多少？Loving表示，如果存在欠債的情況，簽訂婚前協議可以確保某人欠的債應該還是由他/她自己來還。"If your spouse takes out a credit card and racks up a bunch of charges on his/her own volition, then you can ensure you won't be liable for that spouse's reckless spending habits."
"如果你的配偶拿出一張信用卡揮霍，欠下了一大筆債，那你就可以不用爲他/她那揮霍無度的習慣而'買單'了。"Do You Plan on Moving to a Different State?
你們有沒有打算搬去另一個州生活？While you might be cozy living in the state that you're in right now, think about your future living situation. If you might be moving across state lines, it's important to know that laws are different based on where you live.
雖然目前在這個州，你們的小日子很舒坦，但想想你們未來的生活境況吧。如果你們搬到了另一個州，那你要知道不同州的法律也是不一樣的。Elysa Greenblatt, a lawyer at Greenblatt Law LLC, said, "If you are going to move from a state such as New York, which is a 'separate property' state, to a state such as California, which is a 'community property' state, you should have a prenup. Different state laws could mean that assets you never thought would be divided in a divorce are subject to division. A prenup can protect those assets even if you move."
格林布拉特法律責任有限公司的一名律師伊莉莎·格林布拉特說道："如果你們打算從像紐約這樣的州（這個州的財產獨立）搬到像加利福尼亞那樣的州（這個州的財產共享），那還是簽訂婚前協議爲好。不同州的法律不同意味着你以爲不會被分割的資產將面臨被分割的可能。簽訂婚前協議後，即使你搬家了，這些資產也能受到保護。"Do You Have Complex Assets?
你們是否有複雜的資產？Take inventory of what you have and own in your name only. Are those things you want to keep protected in case your relationship ends? If so, you might want to draft up a prenup.
盤點只屬於你自己的物品吧。如果婚姻破滅，你是否想獨自擁有這些物品？如果是，那還是起草一份婚前協議吧。
