What exactly are pre nups and why are they always shown to be a point of contention on couples?
In: 8
Pre-Nup, or a Pre-Nuptial is a contract between the bride and groom that dictates what happens in the event of a divorce. It outlays who will be responsible for what and how much they will receive. It also can lay out conditions that may trigger a divorce though I don’t know how much weight those have. It preempts divorce court proceedings where the judge determines who gets what and why.
They’re a contentious bit because in some cases they can be seen as insulting and lack of trust. They’re more routine at higher income levels because the amount of assets needed and the more routine access of lawyers makes it a formality.
