What are some tips for asking my partner for a prenup?

On Behalf of The Law Firm of Michael S. Rothmel, LLC | Jul 20, 2017 | Divorce

While deciding to talk to your future spouse about a prenuptial agreement in Mount Holly may not be an easy undertaking, it is in many ways a smart one. A prenup can afford you both with some financial protection in the event that you part ways at some point in the future. These types of agreements are utilized by many different types of people, not just millionaires and celebrities. Here are some tips for bringing up the subject with your partner.

There may never be an ideal time for having a serious conversation about this topic. However, the Huffington Post points out that there are definitely some scenarios that are not ideal. If at all possible, try to find a time when the two of you are alone, relaxed and not focused on any other priorities. Many couples discuss financial issues, such as opening joint bank accounts, before the wedding so that may be a good segue into a conversation about a prenup.

You may also want to strike a delicate balance when discussing a potential future split. While blurting out that you want a signed agreement in place should you divorce will probably not go over too well. However, it is equally important to be forthright and honest about what you are seeking from your partner and the reasons why you think it is a good idea.

When approached respectfully, a conversation about having a prenup can be a pleasant and productive discussion. This is provided as general information on this topic and is not intended to be legal advice.
