Many couples talk about love, plans, and future goals before getting married. What they often avoid is the reality that someone may have to slow down a career, stay home with children, or give up certain opportunities. These choices can shape a person’s long-term earning power. They can also affect stability if the relationship ends. This is why many couples now include career and caregiving protections in their prenuptial agreements.

A prenup is not about planning for divorce. It is about planning for clarity, security, and a stronger financial partnership.

Judges must make decisions based on the best interests of the child, a legal standard that balances stability, safety, and emotional well-being.
