Once my fiancé and I got engaged, we met with a divorce attorney for legal advice about marriage. But the more I brought it up (at least twice a day for a week), the more he agreed that meeting with a divorce lawyer was a good idea. "Most of the time, one partner will go hire a lawyer, have the lawyer draft a standard prenup, that prenup is handed to the other partner who is told to get a lawyer and review it." It sounds dramatic, but meeting with a divorce lawyer before our wedding was actually eye-openingMeeting with the lawyer was actually very beneficial. Jen Glantz for InsiderMeeting with a divorce lawyer before getting married helped us understand how our relationship, money, and lives would change after we signed on the dotted line of our marriage license.
