As with most things in life, marriage is all about communication, understanding and setting the right expectations with your partner. One of the ways to do that is literally on paper with a prenuptial agreement, aka a prenup. Today on the show we will discuss what prenups are designed to do, how to have an effective agreement with your spouse and the unique aspects of how to approach prenups as business owners.
As a three-time winner of Atlanta's Best Divorce Attorney, Aaron Thomas is one of the nation's top experts in family law issues. He is a 2002 graduate of Harvard Law School, and his firm Aaron Thomas Law, was recognized by peers as one of the fastest growing family law firms in the state of Georgia.
With clients ranging from NBA hall of famers and Superbowl winners to Grammy award winning artists, Aaron has extensive experience representing his clients in a range of family law matters, including divorce, custody, child support, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
As founder of Prenups.com, Aaron is widely viewed as the go-to source for writing fair prenups. He carries a fundamental belief that establishing a solid financial foundation during engagement can prevent many common martial disputes, and that fair prenups help create happy marriages.
