Post nuptial agreement after 5 years of marriage and 7 years together, he wants it, should I?

This is a complicated and very factual question that can only be properly analyzed by reviewing the post-nuptial agreement. The post-nuptial agreement would control how the assets and liabilities of the marriage will be divided upon divorce (if there is a divorce at some point). The agreement also can include waiving of alimony. I would strongly advise you not to sign a document like that without consulting your own attorney (not his attorney that will draft this agreement). While this agreement can be overturned during the divorce, it is very hard to do and is very costly. So if you do want to enter into this agreement, you need to make sure an attorney advices you of your rights and you have a full understanding of what you are giving up, and are able to negotiate the terms that are fair to you.
