When you should do a pre-nup:

1) if one spouse is coming into the marriage with significantly more $ than the other spouse; 50% of marriages end in divorce

2) a second marriage, where you have children from your first marriage

Even common-law people should make an agreement - we call it a Cohabitation Agreement.

If you do one, do it with seperate lawyers (independent legal advice). A Pre-nup you make from a kit, and without ILA, will probably not be enforeceable.
