Today, I have a special guest on the podcast. Amanda Trigg is a family lawyer who specializes in prenups, divorces, and custody cases, and I’ve got her on the podcast to talk about the nuances of prenups and why they’re so important.
I believe we should all have prenups. Amanda actually drafted my prenuptial agreement with my fiancé Matt, so if you aren’t married yet, or you have people in your life who you can envision getting married in the future, this episode is a great illustration of how important prenups are in taking control of your finances and your future wealth.
Tune in this week to discover everything you need to know about prenups. We’re discussing some of the most common misconceptions around prenups, why deciding on a settlement is easiest in advance, and how a prenup makes the already stressful event of a divorce that much more manageable.
