so couple of ways to do that you can
0:07
avoid paying alimony by signing a
0:09
prenuptual agreement that’s first and
0:12
foremost you can avoid alimony it’s so
0:14
simple before you get married sign a
0:16
prenuptual agreement where you are
0:18
waving or your spouse is waving the
0:20
right to receive alimony people don’t
0:23
think about it but it’s really one of
0:24
the most important parts of signing a
0:26
prenup is so that you’re not in that
0:28
situation of paying alimony later in the
0:32
event of a divorce if you haven’t done
0:35
that perhaps you’re now thinking well I
0:37
should have signed that prenuptual
0:38
agreement but I didn’t do it I didn’t
0:40
have time for it I didn’t think about it
0:42
I I was embarrassed to ask about it it
0:45
could be another route to sign a
0:48
postnuptial agreement and everybody can
0:51
wave alimony in a postnuptial agreement
0:54
and that would be during the marriage
0:56
that’s two good sure bets on how to
0:59
actually avoid paying pay alimony either
1:00
the prenup or the postnup here’s another
1:03
way to avoid paying alimony encourage
1:06
your spouse to have a career a full and
1:10
flourishing career because if you don’t
1:13
do that your spouse is likely to be more
1:15
dependent on you in the event of a
1:17
divorce look if you want a spouse who is
1:20
going to stay home and take care of the
1:22
children and take care of the household
1:24
and that is very you know that that is
1:27
supportive for you then you may actually
1:29
have have to pay alimony to that spouse
1:32
when this when there’s a divorce and
1:34
maybe that’s appropriate because that
1:36
spouse has not been in the workforce for
1:39
many years because they’ve been
1:40
supporting your career and so it’s
1:43
important if you don’t want to pay
1:44
alimony incourage your spouse to have a
1:48
career encourage your spouse to get
1:50
training to develop that career and help
1:52
out help out with the children get the
1:55
support that your spouse needs to
1:57
develop their career that will help you
2:00
avoid alimony payments
