Woman refuses to sign prenup, father-in-law pressures her after being skeptical she will take half of their family business in the case of divorce: “His wife didn’t sign one, why should I?”

Legalities follow us in every sector of our lives. From marriage, to buying a house, to being hired for a job, everything we do is being held under jurisdiction, accountability, and legal processes. Signing your name means everything, and once you sign for something, you can't take it back. Sometimes it feels like there are so many legal documents in the world that you don't even understand them completely. How do we even know what a pension is in our company's contract unless someone tells us? Even when they do, it can be difficult to navigate the best possible scenario for yourself under legal circumstances.

In the story below, it centers around a married couple. From the protagonist's perspective, it doesn't seem like her marriage is in any nefarious place, but her father-in-law feels differently. Her husband is a part owner in their family business, and in the case of a divorce, the protagonist would be eligible to have the business. It never came across her mind to take any part of their business in the case of divorce, nor did the idea of divorcing her husband. She wants to be trusted for being in the family all this time, but her husband and FIL are pressuring her.

If I were her, I would ask my husband if something fishy is going on. Call me paranoid, but if my father-in-law mentioned my husband and I getting potentially divorced one day then I would raise some eyebrows. Do they know something I don't know? What's going to happen if I do or don't?

If the father-in-law's wife didn't have to sign, then I agree with the protagonist. Why should she? It's like they have a secret they're not telling her. Maybe she should talk it out with her husband, instead of trying to communicate down the grapevine through in-laws.
