Podcast Description:

Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Divorce at Altitude! In this episode, co-host Ryan Kalamaya continues the three-part series on marriage and money, diving into the compelling topic of why prenuptial agreements aren't popular enough. Joining him again is Nikki Tucker, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and founder of The Firm Approach.

With over 20 years of financial expertise, Nikki offers valuable insights into the stigma surrounding prenups and why they can be an essential tool for couples to establish trust, financial transparency, and security before saying “I do.”

Episode Highlights:

• The Stigma Around Prenuptial Agreements: Nikki discusses societal norms that paint prenups as unromantic or pessimistic, and how reframing them as a foundation of trust can change perspectives.
• Benefits of a Prenup: Learn why going through the process of creating a prenup—whether or not you ultimately sign one—can foster open conversations about money, protect assets, and minimize conflict in the event of a divorce.
• Prenups and Modern Relationships: How shifting demographics, such as delayed marriages and the rise of female breadwinners, make prenups more relevant than ever.
• Financial Transparency and Communication: The importance of aligning on financial values, understanding your partner’s money story, and how these discussions can strengthen a marriage.

Key Discussions:

• The Myths Around Prenups: Nikki addresses misconceptions, including the false notion that signing a prenup increases the likelihood of divorce.
• Navigating Financial Insecurity: Tips for stay-at-home spouses, breadwinners, and couples to understand their financial landscape before and during marriage.
