It basically said what was his was his and what was mine was mine. He is wealthy and i am not. I had quit my job two weeks earlier on the promise that he would put me in his will to provide for me. That has not happened and looks like it will not happen. Now i do not evenhave a job to go to if something happens. I do not know what to do. We married in February. I thought he would put this all in writing to provide for me because I did waht was asked of me and quit my job. I left behind a great pension and a 403B.   Dear Linda:  Your premarital agreement is probably enfoceable.  The Houston divorce courts routinely uphold premartial agreements.  That is why it is so important to put the time and effort into doing a premartial agreement right -- because you are probably going to have to live with the agreement -- no matter how unfair it may seem.  Good luck, John K.

Dear Linda:

 Your premarital agreement is probably enfoceable.  The Houston divorce courts routinely uphold premartial agreements.  That is why it is so important to put the time and effort into doing a premartial agreement right — because you are probably going to have to live with the agreement — no matter how unfair it may seem.

 Good luck,
