Re: deal or no deal

In Mississippi, if you are not married to him, you get nothing unless by Will. Tell him to draw the pre-nup. Most are not valid for various reasons, but tell him that it should say after 3 years of marriage it should terminate. That would give you and he 10 years of being together. Pre-nup should provide you an income in the event he dies while you and he are living together. If you and he have children together, pre-nup should end.

Go for it. You will be no worse off with a pre-nup and you will have nothing without marriage.
