Donna Beck Weaver      Santa Monica Divorce Attorney and Mediator

Planning to get married?  Thinking about a prenuptial agreement?  But isn't that like thinking about a possible divorce even before you get married?

There is a positive aspect:  a prenup provides an opportunity to have some meaningful and practical conversations with your intended about your hopes and dreams for the financial aspects of your married life.  Whether you have concerns about business interests, pre-marriage assets, or children from a prior relationship, a prenuptial agreement can help you both clarify how you can handle finances during marriage to make both of you comfortable.  You can also make thoughtful provisions for the unwanted possibility of death or divorce.

Santa Monica attorney Donna Beck Weaver believes that it is key to  begin with a collaborative approach--one that takes into account both partners' interests and concerns. This approach allows both partners to discuss individual concerns as well as hopes for their shared future.

The Positive Prenuptial

"The new prenuptial process encourages thoughtful discussion about the hopes and concerns important to both members of the couple.  Then the collaboratively developed goals become the blueprint for the prenuptial agreement and just as important, for the  management of finances during marriage.  This helps to strengthen the marriage because unresolved differences about money are a part of many divorces." --Donna Beck Weaver, California prenuptial agreement attorney
