This resource is general information and is not legal advice. The right approach depends on the facts, documents, and law applicable to a particular matter.
Begin early
Time pressure makes difficult conversations harder and can create legal concerns. Starting months before the wedding leaves room for disclosure, independent advice, and careful drafting.
Frame the purpose
A prenup can be less about predicting divorce and more about establishing expectations, protecting family assets, clarifying business ownership, and reducing uncertainty for both people.
Prioritize fairness and disclosure
Meaningful financial disclosure and separate counsel help each person understand the agreement. The goal should be a durable document that both parties can explain and live with.
