Should you sign a prenup? The answer may surprise you!
The most often overlooked element in the rush down the aisle is perhaps the most significant in a couple's future-understanding how a marriage contract will change their financial and legal rights.
/Marriage - Relationships PR News/ - NAPERVILLE, IL, August 12, 2006 - Nihara K. Choudhri's What to Do Before "I Do": The Modern Couple's Guide to Marriage, Money and Prenups (ISBN: 1-57248-451-9; November 2004; Reference/Wedding; $14.95/$22.95 CAN) is designed to take the mystery out of the marriage contract, and provide a simple guide to marriage and money.
Married couples fight more about money than any other issue. Money trumps even in-laws as the No. 1 cause of arguments. Although it would be next-to-impossible for couples to anticipate and avoid all of future money-related arguments, discussing financial issues before their marriage will almost certainly help to head off money battles down the line. What to Do Before "I Do" will make sure readers understand the marriage contractual obligations-and teach them how to take steps to protect themselves, if necessary.
While many couples scoff at the notion of a prenuptial agreement-dismissing it as "unromantic" and pessimistic-the reality is that all marriages are governed by a contact of some sort. Couples who walk down the aisle without entering into a prenuptial agreement are signing on to the marriage contract drafted by their state government.
What to Do Before "I Do" discusses the practical realities of marriage contracts for the average couple, and how marriage affects your rights in the event of death, divorce-and even debt!
Discover:
~ What a marriage contract is and how it changes your rights
~ How to determine if a prenuptial agreement is right for you
~ What are the key points to include in writing your own prenuptial agreement
~ And much more
What to Do Before "I Do" comprehensively explains the benefits of spending as much time understanding the details of the marriage contract as choosing a venue for the wedding day. It provides all the information couples need to enter into a marriage contract with their eyes wide open. Choudhri's experience as a matrimonial lawyer has made her an expert on the financial and legal "side effects" of marriage. She knows the ins and outs of divorce laws and has compiled all the pertinent information into this easy-to-read guidebook for every engaged couple.
