The Pre-Nup” - Let’s Talk about Prenuptial Agreements
As you are in the second phase of life, you never thought
you would fall in love. But, as life brings sweet surprises
you have finally found Mr. Wonderful. Because of career
choices and other priorities and circumstances, you are
getting married now, later in life.
To the bride and groom, marriage is a loving contract
between two people who want to spend the rest of their lives
together, but in the eyes of the law, marriage is a contract
between two people which is not about love but about a
variety of financial rights and obligations. You should not
look at a prenuptial agreement as a lack of faith in the
relationship but as protection against unforeseen
circumstances.
Think of it as an “insurance policy” covering the legal
issues of your marriage contract that you get to write
yourself. If it is difficult to talk about your loving,
committed relationship as if it were a business arrangement,
consulting with a legal, professional advisor will make it
easier.
