Business Owners: Understanding Spousal Support In Prenuptial Agreements
“The concept of double dipping in a divorce case is one every business owner should be familiar with because the negative consequences of it can be avoided through a number of tools, such as a prenuptial agreement or trust. ”
A Quick Primer on Prenups
A prenuptial agreement helps protect your assets in a divorce.
Julia Rodgers, a family law attorney who co-founded Hello Prenup, a website that helps users create a do-it-yourself prenuptial agreement, says a prenup is particularly important for couples who have children from a previous marriage. Baby boomers will leave an estimated $80 trillion in assets to their millennial and Generation Z children through 2045, according to Cerulli Associates, a research and consulting firm. “If you want to keep your wealth in the family and not lose it in a divorce, you should protect it with a prenup,” Rodgers says.
What Is a Prenup?
“We partnered with the good folks at HelloPrenup to give you a primer on prenuptial agreements — and help demystify a document that’s unfairly maligned.”
The Business Owner’s Guide To Prenuptial Agreements
“I always say, at its core, a prenup is just as much an emotional document as a legal one. Signed before marriage, it outlines the division and possession of assets during the marriage and in the event of a divorce. While discussing a prenup may seem unromantic and can be stressful for even the most solid relationships, for business owners, it’s a pragmatic step toward ensuring the stability of their business, including those business assets and employees.”
America embraces prenups: 50% of adults open to signing
“Yes, but: Penning prenups can be a complicated process that costs hundreds to thousands of dollars.
- Two millennial women launched a company with the goal of addressing those problems in 2021. The online platform, HelloPrenup, charges a flat fee of $599.
- HelloPrenup is projected to do 25 times more prenups in 2023 than it did in 2021, according to data HelloPrenup shared with Axios.”
Yes, The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry & Theresa Had A Prenup
“Julia Rodgers, a family law attorney and CEO of HelloPrenup, previously told Bustle that a prenup made sense for Gerry and Theresa — and, in fact, for any couple. “People say money and love shouldn’t mix — they do,” she said. “Because what is in that bank account is going to determine how you live. This is less impactful when you’re younger and you have [more] earning capacity. But when you’re getting married at an older age, you’re already retired. So what’s in those accounts is going to impact how you live.”
Meet Julia Rodgers, a Trust Trailblazer in Online Notarization
“As a divorce attorney at a top family law firm in Boston, Julia Rodgers understood the challenges couples were facing while seeking prenuptial agreements. The high cost of hiring attorneys and unpredictable pricing, time-consuming process of negotiating through attorneys, and traditionally adversarial power dynamic left many engaged couples feeling emotionally exhausted and financially drained.”
HelloPrenup’s CEO Honored With Suffolk University Law School’s ‘Outstanding Graduate of the Last Decade’ Award
“We are incredibly proud of Julia’s innovative approach to legal services,” said Andrew Perlman, Dean of Suffolk University Law School. “She has shown the kind of innovation and creativity we aim to instill in our students through our nationally leading legal innovation and technology programs. This award is well deserved and highlights the significant impact our graduates can make in reimagining the delivery of legal services.”
Meet the Female Founders of Legal Tech, Legaltech News has compiled a growing list of female and gender fluid founders who have created products and launched companies in the legal technology space.
“HelloPrenup is a platform that allows couples to create a prenuptial agreement collaboratively online, in hours instead of days and for a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.”
Millennials are driving the rise in couples getting prenups as they try to avoid the ‘messy disentanglements’ of their boomer parents — what you need to know before tying the knot
“We’re giving them the power back — or allowing them to create the draft together as a couple, in unison — and then take that draft to an attorney if they want legal advice,” Julia adds.
Prenuptial agreements aren’t just for the rich. Here’s what you should know
“Julia Rodgers, the CEO and founder of HelloPrenup, an online platform for creating prenuptial agreements, said the agreements can be beneficial to both sides, not just the spouse who is wealthier.”
Younger Americans, especially, have found their own use for prenuptial agreements: protecting their spouses from the worst impulses of the American debt-collection system.
“A prenup facilitates the financial conversations, the life-goals conversations, that you may otherwise be ignoring or brushing under the rug,” the company’s founder, Julia Rodgers.”
Here’s why more millennials are getting prenups
According to Rodgers, working on the prenup collaboratively can help address other big money discussions that often plague relationships down the line and can be a good space to address a lot of the financial concerns that women in particular are more likely to face, like the motherhood penalty.
This award honors the law’s smartest, most courageous innovators, techies, visionaries, and, lawyers, and leaders.
While many couples may see the value in entering into a prenuptial agreement, the process can be daunting for those who are already burdened with wedding planning stress and facing financial pressure. That’s why Julia Rodgers invented HelloPrenup, a step-by-step cloud application that allows users to work through the necessary questions and negotiations needed to automatically generate a prenup.
Eight Key Communication Lessons That Can Improve Your Customer Relationships
The paramount lesson I’ve embraced is the power of active listening. By genuinely trying to understand customers, I’ve built trust, tailored solutions to precise needs and preemptively addressed conflicts. This realization has reshaped my company’s customer success operations. We have integrated a customer-centric approach into decisions, invested in communication training for my team and established robust feedback mechanisms. Active listening isn’t just a skill—it’s the essence of my business’s enduring success, converting every interaction into a valuable opportunity. – Julia Rodgers, HelloPrenup
