The Asked

Chapter 13 — Legal & Rights

Are prenups a bad sign?

They're a legal document, not a relationship verdict. In second marriages, when one partner has significant assets or a business, or when children from prior relationships exist, they're widely considered prudent. Talk about it early.

Follow-up questions

Is it enforceable?

Usually, if both parties had time, independent counsel, full financial disclosure, and it's not manifestly unfair.

Can we get one after marrying?

Yes — called a postnuptial agreement. Same principles apply.
