The $50k Wedding Mistake You Can Avoid: Prenups for Non-Millionaire Normal People

The $50k Wedding Mistake You Can Avoid: Prenups for Non-Millionaire Normal People

If you’re like me, you grew up in a community that believed that prenups - or premarital agreements as they are more correctly called – were only for the very rich. Sure, maybe you needed a document to divide your yachts and hotel buildings if you were mega-rich, but surely John and Jane Doe don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars in lawyers’ fees to split the toaster and the 7-year-old mattress. Plus, isn’t it unromantic? Where’s the true love and the riding off into the sunset?

What I discovered in my research and interviews of married couples is that riding off into the sunset still leaves you with a sore butt and a bunch of things to unload, and sometimes you decide that you don’t want to be riding in the same direction. In a scenario like that, it isn’t just a toaster and a mattress that needs to be split. Below are some very real, fairly common scenarios which can catch us non-yacht sailing, normal people flat-footed:


- You are the higher income earner for the family, and the year before you plan to switch to pursuing your love of non-profit dolphin research work, your spouse divorces you. The court award your spouse alimony of $50k or $100k, based on your income when you were at the high-paying job. Say goodbye to your dreams of the dolphins. You’ll have to keep slaving away with those golden handcuffs or face jailtime for not ponying up the alimony you owe for the next 15 years.
- You bring a house into the marriage which you’ve saved up for for ages. Your spouse divorces you one year into marriage and runs off with the dog groomer…and half of the value of your house.
- You get a master’s degree in computer science or finance but then decide after the program is not for you. Ooops. No soul-nurturing, low-paying non-profit or teaching work for you. The court has decided your master’s degree is actually worth something in a lump sum value, so you’ll have to pay your spouse thousands of dollars even if you never planned to use the degree.
- You’re a stay at home mom and you both made the deliberate decision that you would sacrifice your career to raise the kids. Now you’re getting divorced. Did you expect to get half the assets? Unless you live in a community property state, you are mistaken.


This book is for anyone who has been told that prenups are not relevant for them but had just a tiny glimmer of doubt reading the above scenarios. This book is for the active-minded reader who is willing to learn and question and reconsider just for a moment something we’ve all taken for granted without doing our own diligence; this book will help you determine whether a prenup could truly be useful for you and if so, how to go about it quickly and affordably.
