In this episode, I sit down with lawyer and educator Jessica Wu to discuss prenuptial agreements (prenups). We explore common misconceptions about prenups and their purpose, as well as their potential benefits and drawbacks.

Jessica provides insight into the legal considerations of drafting a prenup, including the importance of transparency and communication between partners. We also discuss how prenups can be used as a tool for financial planning and protection in the event of divorce. Whether you're considering a prenup or simply curious about their role in modern relationships, this conversation offers valuable insights from an experienced legal professional.
