Assuming that both people in the relationship would want to sign one.

Of course Iove you dear, of course we'll be together forever, but can you sign this just in case?

to be fair
if I were marrying someone much wealthier than me, or marrying someone less wealthy than me, and the pre-nup was fair, i'd sign it. greggs hat had a beautician (don't ask, I wish I hadn't) who was apparently very hot, and some dumbass rich banker had married her for it. they were married for 6 months, no kids, split up, and she promptly went for his house and half his cash. if they'd been married 16 years and he'd cheated, maybe, but why does she think she's entitled to all that? grrrr.

I doubt she got much after a six month marriage.

Because she's entitled to all of that since he signed a legally binding contract with her sharing their possessions.

i didn't read the paperwork, obviously
but there must be massive grounds for argument over the terms of the sharing. hence his lawyers fighting hers.

but morally, she's got a lot of questions to answer, if she thinks that living with someone for 6 months entitles her to a free house.

he was also a twat for marrying someone just because she was hot
so I don't have any sympathy for him either. but greggs hat would come back from appointments and tell me the latest in their court battle, and it made me want to punch her stupid face.

My ex has been trying to claim I should pay for things for her that I don't have myself; such as private dental insurance.
Ridiculous. The court won't go for that.

classic strategy of don't ask, don't get, i guess
throw in a few things it's easy to concede so that you look reasonable for the bigger things.

she's another one. ask for dental insurance for micro, and pay for your own dental insurance, you over-entitled cow.

Quite.

That's not how the courts interpret it now.
They consider all sorts of things; what assets each had prior to the marriage, joint assets acquired during the marriage, the length of the marriage (and the length of time spent cohabiting before the marriage), earning capability of each person, what the lower earning partner needs to live on etc.
