He began divorce proceedings in January, they began dating in like february/march of this year. And I guess they are moving fast because she wants to get married and have kids.

I did hint at the financial repercussions of a divorce, she said he's gotta give her a large settlement, they have to sell the house. He moved out in January, so no he's not living with his ex.

I don't know how financial stable he will be because of the divorce, but money isn't a reason to not get married (yeah i'm a romantic).

In fact I'm not sure whether to tell her to get a prenup because is her income considered for alimony? They were married quite a few years.

I know enough to suggest a cohabitation agreement, especially after last time. But she's equally romantic like me, and my DH said to tell her not to buy the house with the her ex-boyfriend, which is why I told her to get a signed, binding, legal agreement before they did it (we were both stupid romantics). They were already house shopping too!

But what repercussions can it have to marry a divorced man? At least he has no kids. And if they have kids then he'll have to support them right?

Is it wrong to suggest a prenup too?
