Every marriage has a prenup.
It's either one that's written by the government and gets to be changed by the government without your consent, or it's one that's written by the two people that claim to love each other more than the eight billion other options.
Now, to me, whatever your political leanings, left, right or the disgruntled middle.
The truth is, at some point in the last 15 years, you've looked at the government and went, what are these people doing?
They should not be in charge of anything, okay?
Whatever side of the aisle you're on, at some point in the last 15 years, you've looked at the government and said, I don't trust them, okay?
So why would you trust a future government of a state that you don't know which state it'll be that you'll be residing in in the event that your marriage ends?
Why would you trust that future imagined politician with making the rule set for your marriage?
That's insane.
But people do it all the time because it's easier to just trust that than to have a potentially difficult conversation.
Yeah, I don't know who's telling you that, because the truth is they are enforceable.
It depends on the jurisdiction that you're in.
The UK certainly has a less enforceability approach towards prenuptial agreements.
But the major states, California, New York, Florida, like they have, you know, contract law is very well settled law.
Now, what what I think a lot of people are probably saying.
mistakenly characterizing as the prenup not being enforceable is a prenup that's not drafted properly.
So, for example, a fidelity clause that does not very clearly define with specificity what is infidelity for the purposes of that clause.
And it doesn't specifically delineate what the penalty is.
And the penalty isn't so severe as to make the entire contract what's called unconscionable.
which is a deal that is so unfair and lopsided that no reasonable person would offer it.
