Someone who gets a prenuptial agreement is no more likely to get divorced than someone who doesn’t. In a large part, it’s really insurance, and the best insurance that you can buy, because a lot of what you are protecting against is the confusion about where each spouse stands financially.
And you get to make these decisions together, when you love each other and want the best for each other, that you then stick to later if things go sour and you might not have the same love for each other.”
– Aaron Thomas

about Aaron Thomas
Attorney Aaron Thomas has been an attorney for almost twenty years, helping secure favorable settlements and verdicts for clients from all walks of life.
He graduated from Harvard Law School in 2002, and ever since 2007 Aaron has practiced family law exclusively, in order to help people navigate emotional and difficult disputes over divorce, custody, and child support. He has covered a variety of cases in family law, everything from representing superstar athletes and entertainers to working professionals and stay at home parents. After focusing on divorce and custody disputes for most of his career, he’s turned his attention to trying to prevent the arguments that lead to divorce in the first place.
In 2020, he founded prenups.com, a fair and friendly take on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements which have gotten a bad rap but can be a useful tool for couples to plan – not for divorce – but for how they will handle their finances (and other issues) during the marriage itself. He himself has been married for five years, and when he got married he and his wife, who is also a lawyer, sat down and wrote their own prenup that addresses lots of the arguments that Aaron witnessed breaking marriages apart during his career. From how you set up your accounts, to household financial meetings, from counseling, to how much you can spend without checking with your spouse first – Aaron will share with us creative provisions you can include in your own prenuptial agreement that could actually improve your marriage.
