Not to be a jerk but you had better establish some goals and objectives for parenting time and come up with a plan to achieve those goals and objectives. Once you start the battle over the prenup, win or lose, the war is on and your kid will be a spoil of that war. She WILL get angry and do unthinkable things to keep him from you. Just sayin...
Just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get me.

My guess is that her and her attorney don't know/remember about the email of the initial prenup 6 days prior. That will be huge.

What will be huge is the bill from both lawyers, which you will have to pay.

She isn't working, is she? She hasn't worked in awhile, likely the entire marriage.

Lol.....We have cooled off today. She went out of town a couple hours away and we miss each other. I spoke with a former arbitrator at my little brothers baseball game tonight. He said the prenup could go either way...she needs to prove duress and coercion. But it will be expensive. I'll probably negotiate with my wife and just pony up for her house down payment which will be a little more than the 25k she gets in the prenup. It's for my son anyway so I'll probably give her what she wants.

There is so much wrong with your recent replies, I wonder if the OP is still with us. The lack of continuing a logical thought, the failure to answer questions, and no acknowledgement of our comments.

She was on her period . . . That's the excuse. So she's out of town and you miss her, how sweet. Now you're just going to buy her a house and be done with it.

I'm guessing OP didn't read the link either.

Not sure what u mean guys. Casto is the precedent. She received the prenup 6 days before...plenty of time to seek counsel. It was signed the day before. Yes I could have done better, but you guys don't have all the info, such as reading the actual prenup and the exhibit showing the financial disclosure. The devil is in the details. Regardless, it's cheaper and better for my son to settle. 25-50k on a downpayment vs possibly 100k and a year of bickering. It's a no brainer.

You didn't actually read Casto v. Casto, 508 So. 2d 330 (Fla. 1987), did you?

If your wifey is not working, how will she pay for the house you give her the down payment on?

What is your concept of custody after the divorce?

I see the confusion I've caused by saying its good then it's bad...my bad...so to be clear....yes I agree the prenup could be better, and that's why it's better to negotiate and settle with her instead of fighting and spending money to find out.

I haven't brought up child custody because it's part of what I'll try to negotiate with her, but we've already discussed a little, and I'll try to get 50/50 but the baby resides with her at this young age.

Am I missing anything?
