Couples can spend years planning the wedding, yet barely consider the financial contract that begins the moment they say “I do.” And here’s the catch: there is no such thing as having no agreement. If you don’t write your own, the state effectively writes one for you. In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo explores the legal minefield of prenuptial agreements across 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, where crossing a border can dramatically change the rules. Jack examines what can make these agreements hold up or fall apart, from financial disclosure and independent counsel to the hidden ERISA trap that can derail even a carefully drafted plan. A prenup isn’t planning for divorce. It’s insurance against letting geography, circumstance, and someone else’s rules decide your financial future.
