PODCAST: Steps to Take Before You Say ‘I Do’…
Morgan Mouchette is a Matrimonial and Family Law Partner at Blank Rome LLP specializing in divorce, child custody, and prenuptial agreements. She provides tailored support based on the unique circumstances and needs of each family. In this episode, Morgan and Stacy Francis discuss prenuptial agreements, why they are recommended, and debunk some common misconceptions about them. If you believe your prenup is unfair to you, Morgan discusses what you can do.
- A prenuptial agreement can help couples make financial arrangements and discuss their relationship ahead of their marriage. However, not everyone needs a prenuptial agreement, and each person should do it with knowledge and foresight.
- The most common misconception about prenuptial agreements is that they only protect the prospective spouse with all of the assets, but a good lawyer can even use prenuptial agreements to protect the spouse who has a lower income level.
- When getting married, you should open new accounts so that you can separate marital property from personal finances.
- If you signed a prenuptial agreement, but no longer consider its parameters fair or equal, get as much information about your marriage’s finances as you can. It’s empowering to have the data because you will have the necessary information to make decisions, whether that be divorce or otherwise.
