Description

In this episode of the Divorce and Family Law Podcast, we discuss that a prenuptial agreement is essential for couples where one party has a substantial income or higher-level career. Without a prenup, a contested divorce can result in years of court battles and significant legal fees. A prenuptial agreement is intended to protect both parties and ensure fundamental fairness in the event of a divorce. It is a map and plan for the division of assets and liabilities. The stigma surrounding prenups should be demystified, as they are a way to provide security and clarity for both spouses. Prenups can include provisions for property division, debt allocation, and alimony.
