My fiancé (29M) and I (23F) were discussing prenup details and he would like to always file separately. I make $62k a year with a 10% bonus every year. I have zero assets and $3k in student loans. He does not want to share how much he makes but I assume it's at least $100k knowing he's a successful attorney already. He has purchased a $50k car in cash and is planning on purchasing a home as well soon and is a saver so his assets are a large undisclosed sum. I do not mind that he does not want to share his finance details. He helps with my graduate studies which are being paid off by him, takes me on nice vacations, and is assisting me with a purchase of a car later this year so it's not like he's an evil man that won't let me live and enjoy his lifestyle. We came into this marriage separately and would like to leave separately as well if things do not work out. I'm not marrying him for his wealth. My only question is it wise for us to always file separately? What are the pros and cons? And if we have children in the future how does it work? Also, we live in a state with no income tax, high property tax rates, and high sales tax (if that helps)
Tldr: fiancé wants a prenup and one condition is that we must file separately. What are the pros and cons and your final takeaway?
EDIT: I am fine with him not sharing his salary. For all of you that think this bothers me, I assure you it does not. I just want to know should I sign off on this condition. Again he shares his wealth with me and does not even hesitate when sharing details on our monthly budgeting, long term financial goals, or how he will support us when I choose to stay at home when we have kids.
