What I think is really important is to really think about prenups as financial planning. That’s all it is. You want to
have a conversation with your significant other. Talk about how it is you see yourselves moving through your
future together financially. what you believe your goals are for how much you want to save, how much you want to uh
put aside, what it is that your budget looks like. Having those conversations in advance will really give you guidance
on what terms you want to agree to, even for a prenup. And some people are afraid to have those conversations, but they’re so valuable. No matter what, I think
it’s important to have those conversations.

Los Angeles, CA family law attorney Nina Shayan Depatie shares her advice for people considering a prenuptial agreement. She emphasizes that a prenuptial agreement should be viewed as a form of financial planning rather than simply a legal document. She encourages couples to have open conversations about how they envision managing their finances together, including their financial goals, savings plans, spending priorities, and budgets. She believes that having these discussions in advance can help couples determine the terms they may want to include in a prenup, while also creating an opportunity to establish a shared understanding of their financial future. Although some people may feel uncomfortable discussing these matters, she stresses that these conversations are valuable and important regardless of whether a couple ultimately enters into a prenuptial agreement.
