#70 The Prenup Myth: Why Fair Doesn’t Always Mean Equal in Divorce
Wed Feb 04 2026
Are prenups becoming a smart form of financial protection—or just another legal landmine waiting to explode during divorce?
Millennials and Gen Z are changing how marriage works, treating prenups as basic financial hygiene rather than a sign of mistrust. With student loan debt, rising housing costs, side businesses, and digital income streams, what you decide before marriage can directly impact your financial future if the relationship ends.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How modern prenups handle debt, income, and assets—and where they often failWhich prenup clauses actually hold up in court versus those that get challengedHow couples unintentionally commingle assets and lose separate property protections
Press play to understand how prenups really work in today’s divorce cases—and how to protect yourself before small decisions turn into expensive legal battles.
