As this NYT piece explains, prenups (unlike the Supreme Court's view of anything) have evolved with the times. Once seen as a taboo topic — or even bad luck — premarital contracts have been shedding their stigma in recent years. There’s a misconception that prenups only protect the richer spouse, but I think they protect both people, because it’s just financial clarity. For the spouse with fewer assets, a prenup can guarantee financial protections that would otherwise be uncertain. Prenups also reduce the likelihood of a lot of expensive litigation if the marriage ends. A successful business would define expectations before the problems arise. A successful couple would benefit from doing the same.
