The real question isn’t really whether a prenup is right for you. It’s this: Would you rather have your marriage operate on its own, custom rules, pre-agreed to by you and your spouse? Or, in the case of divorce, do you prefer your state laws to decide how to split your assets? Those are the only two options, and, while we’re a little biased, the former is the smarter way to go. Knowledge is power – and having control over the terms of your partnership will help you understand exactly what you’re getting into with your marriage, before it begins.
