Katy Mickelson: Can Pre and Post Nups Make Stronger Marriages?

Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More

Pre-Nups and Post-Nups are generally regarded as being manipulative and unromantic. But what if you could use prenups and postnups to make your marriage stronger?

In this podcast episode, family law attorney Katy Mickelson pulls back the curtain on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. She explains what they can and cannot cover, what they require, and how to create agreements that work. [HINT: This is NOT the place to go DIY!] She also dives deeply into who needs these agreements, and when entering into them not only makes sense but can actually help you save your marriage.

This episode is rich with practical advice, demystifying the belief that prenups and postnups are exclusively for the ultra-wealthy. Instead, we reveal their relevance to a wide range of individuals. Katy also highlights how these legal tools can provide a foundation of clarity and security for any marriage.
