Prenuptial Solutions
Consider how much time, money and energy people spend preparing for their wedding and planning their reception...and how little of the same most spend tackling the very real impact of marriage on their lives. Marriage is a tool through which two individuals, legally and financially, become one. Imagine starting a new company with a partner with no written agreement? Or purchasing a piece of real estate with another investor with no written agreement?
In a country with a nearly 50% divorce rate, it seems unconscionable that only 5% of divorcing couples have a prenuptial agreement in place. to help make the dissolution of their marriage as painless, fair, and rational as possible. You want to be in that 5%! Prenuptial agreements do so many wonderful things for both parties. They can protect a spouse from debt accrued prior to marriage and provide protection for all assets for both parties. They are drafted at a time when there is a higher likelihood for creating a mutually-beneficial agreement: when both parties are loving, rational, and acting in good faith.

There are misconceptions that prenuptial agreements are only for the very wealthy or couples who lack trust or commitment. So silly! They are simply a basic contract that reasonable adults would use before entering any binding, significant legal or financial partnership with another person.
