Protect yourself from the Divorce Industry

With an entire legion of bloodthirsty lawyers trying to make divorce easier, faster, yet more expensive, this book provides a degree of protection for men and women. It's bad enough to go through the emotional trauma that a divorce causes, but to have your finances permanently ruined and to have yourself driven into a future of permanent poverty makes the situation infinitely worse. This is precisely why there is a modern trend to craft specific contracts before marriage takes place (otherwise you are subject the laws of the state, which encourage divorce and financial ruin). A prenuptial agreement often strengthens a marriage because it removes the enticing financial "carrot" that often encourages one spouse to screw over the other spouse for a grand monetary prize. This book explains the built in state laws that will rule if you DON'T get a prenup, explains the dos and don't about lawyers, has several examples of agreements, has a number of specific case examples, and an entire appendix of model agreements. It might not be the be-all end-all to prenuptial agreements, but it is a relatively inexpensive way to get an idea of the basics of these agreements and decide whether or not such an agreement is right for you. It is a lot cheaper than consulting a lawyer, it is a great first step for someone who is considering getting married but is realistic and understands the risks that it entails in this day and age.

LOVed it, even though a lil outdated

Just really dont get married until you read this book!
