A conversation I had today made me realize that I should write another post about the importance of obtaining a post-nup or a post nuptial agreement.
If you are considering quitting your job to be a stay at home mom, please get your husband to agree to a post-nup before you quit. If you are thinking about the possibility of divorce, please begin to take steps to protect yourself immediately.
In the days of the Ward and June Cleavers, divorce didn’t play much of a role. Those days and those marriages have become antiquated. Back then, the divorce rate was not 55% of all the couples who said, “I do.” In light of the current divorce rate, the verbiage of wedding vows is more like, “Maybe I will and maybe I won’t.”
Life insurance is advocated by almost everyone as a crucial financial safety net in the event of the death of a spouse. Why is the concept of the same kind of safety net so difficult for people to comprehend when it comes to the possibility of the death of a marriage a.k.a. divorce?
A pre-nup is a difficult subject to broach, especially f your marriage is a bit unsteady. One of the best times to work a post-nup into your important business is at the time you redo your wills.
Please don’t take any chances when it comes to your economic security. If you already have forfeited your economic security, you need to something to change that as soon as possible.
