Today, I want to talk to you about prenuptial agreements for same sex marriages. And the very first thing that I want to take care of, and get out of the way, is the idea that somehow the law for how we deal with prenuptial agreements for same-sex couples might be different than it is for, what some may call, a traditional couple. And that is absolutely not true. The law is completely the same, the approach is the same, it doesn’t matter.
So the next thing is, for some people, the idea of talking about money and accounts before you actually get married might seem awkward, might seem that it’s contrary to the idea of creating a union between you and your soon-to-be spouse. But really, having a conversation about your finances can be the most helpful thing you can do for your relationship because it puts it all our on the table.
