While not an antidote to a difficult divorce, a prenuptial agreement certainly can make divorce less painful. I often describe prenups as insurance policies that protect against a protracted and brutal divorce proceeding. Prenuptial agreements provide a realistic alternative to a messy divorce by allowing both spouses to determine their own financial fates at the outset of the marriage. Difficult as it may be to discuss money and the possibility of divorce before the marriage has even commenced, doing so can sometimes prevent a considerable amount of future heartache.
