We’re guessing that the title of this episode may have come as a shock to a lot of folks! If you’ve been listening to the show for a while, you may have picked up on the fact that we haven’t been the biggest proponents of prenuptial agreements… but let’s see if our guest today can change our minds! We’re joined by Aaron Thomas, a graduate of Harvard Law, who also happens to live in our old neighborhood in Atlanta. Aaron is a divorce attorney with decades of experience and his clients range from NBA hall of famers, to the average couple who lives down the street from you. He founded Prenups.com and he’s recently published a new book: The Prenup Prescription, where he argues that a proper prenup can not only protect, but actually improve your relationship. Today we discuss the increasing acceptance of prenups, the importance of marriage for society, the contractual obligations of getting married, whether a prenup does more harm than good, how to start conversation about prenups with your partner, & if a postnup is something you should consider.
