How to discuss a prenup with your fiance

There are several ways to discuss a prenup with your fiance. First, have a clear understanding of the reasons for your interest in a prenup and the benefits to your particular situation. Do you want to provide that each of you will keep 100% of your separate estates and all acquired by each of you independently during marriage, do you want to ensure a 50/50 division, or something in between? You may be interested in allaying any fears or concerns of your adult children. You may want to provide for the future of each spouse’s minor children born before the marriage. If you both have assets, it may be smart to confirm that they are kept separate for financial reasons.

A prenup can be looked at like an insurance policy. You hope you will never need your homeowner’s policy, but it’s comforting to know its there. All marriages go through difficult periods. At such times, it can be helpful to know that you don’t have to worry about your retirement, finances, etc.

When you know why a prenup is appropriate for your situation and have some ideas about what you would like to include in it, then sit with your fiancé and discuss it calmly and maturely. For many couples it takes several conversations before they are finally comfortable discussing the details.

These people are amazing. They are helping my family through the worst event of our lives and I really couldn’t ask for a higher degree of professionalism and care. They are razor sharp and completely transparent about cost as much as possible.They are not cheap and there are no guarantees but I believe they are absolutely worth it.You get what you pay for.

Aaron has helped guide us through one of the most trying and difficult times in my family’s life. Throughout this entire journey Aaron has remained realistic, professional, and has truly cared about our families needs. Aaron was able to help us settle our case in mediation while giving us peace of mind. The professionalism and organization of The McNamara Law Firm was superb! Paralegal J. Gama always held her self in a professional, courteous and educated manner. We are truly grateful for their help and guidance. We will definitely choose Aaron again should we need to seek legal counsel in the future.
