Donald Trump has just been sworn in as our 45th President, making Melania Trump the First Lady. I am sure no one is surprised that upon their marriage in 2005, they signed a Prenuptial Agreement. In fact, President Trump has been quoted as saying if she won’t sign a prenup, she’s not the wife for you.
So, are Prenuptial Agreements only for the wealthy and famous? Not necessarily. There are many reasons a couple may decide they want to prepare and sign a Prenuptial Agreement before they marry. Often, it’s a second marriage and if there are children of a first marriage, they want to protect them. In other scenarios, there is a family held business, or one of the couple is caring financially for an ill relative.
