What to say and do if you want a prenuptial agreement

On Behalf of Rudolph & Associates LLC | Oct 20, 2020 | Divorce

As you look toward your wedding day, you realize that your life will be changing forever. And even though you’re excited about a future with your partner, it’s natural to have some questions and concerns.

A prenuptial agreement is one of the best ways to ease your stress. With this, you can protect assets that you brought into the marriage, avoid debts that your spouse brought into the marriage and make key financial decisions regarding the future.

The only problem with a prenuptial agreement is that you have to get your partner to agree. While this is easier said than done, here are some tips you can use to your advantage:

  • Start early: It can take quite a bit of time to work through the process, so it’s critical to start as early as you can. With this approach, you’ll never feel rushed.
  • Share your personal feelings: This isn’t the right time to take a high level approach to a prenuptial agreement. You need to get into the finer details, including an inside look at your personal feelings. Don’t hide anything. Take an open and honest approach.
  • Ask and answer questions: If you have questions, don’t be afraid to bring them to light. And if your partner has questions, do your best to answer them. This helps to create an open dialogue that allows you to get on the same page.
  • Don’t force them: The last thing you should do is force your partner to create a prenuptial agreement. Not only does this add tension to your relationship, but it’s likely to result in the creation of an invalid prenuptial agreement. Should you divorce, your spouse could argue that you forced them to sign the agreement.

These are the types of things you should do if you want to discuss a prenuptial agreement with your partner. It’s a big step forward in your relationship, but with marriage on the horizon it’s something to strongly consider.

Once you’re on the same page about creating a prenuptial agreement, learn more about what you can and can’t include per Florida laws and how to finish off the process.
