The impending divorce of Bill and Melinda Gates has been in the news a lot lately, and journalists have been discussing whether or not they should have gotten a prenuptial agreement before getting married. I remember thinking at the time of the wedding that I hoped that he had one, but apparently not.
So with so much attention being drawn to the subject, I thought I would discuss in this episode all about what a prenuptial agreement is, the pros and cons, whether you might need one, how it might help you, and how you can go about getting one.
In this episode you will learn:
- What a Prenup Is
- The Pros and Cons of Having One
- Whether You Should Have One
- Whether You Should Hire a Lawyer to Draft It
