0:04
they help
0:05
tremendously because a prenuptual
0:08
agreement has to be fair and Equitable
0:11
at the time that it’s signed meaning
0:13
before the parties get married in terms
0:15
of a prenuptual agreement and it has to
0:17
be fair and Equitable at the time of uh
0:20
that it’s going to be enforced so you
0:23
can’t just have blanket waivers of
0:25
saying I’m not going to take support
0:27
from you I’m not going to take support
0:28
from you blanket waivers like that
0:31
typically don’t work out well for people
0:34
but if you design an agreement properly
0:37
you can put it in the framework of
0:40
saying listen these are my terms and
0:42
conditions and we’re agreeing to these
0:44
terms and conditions and especially in
0:46
high net worth divorces where there’s
0:48
going to be a lot of Lifestyle analysis
0:51
and a lot of analysis regarding income
0:54
it’s going to be based upon needs and
0:56
it’s going to be based upon the number
0:58
of years of marriage so what you do is
1:00
is you divide up the number of years of
1:02
marriage and say for this number of
1:04
years of marriage I’m going to give you
1:05
XYZ in support and this is what the law
1:08
would provide you with but I’m going to
1:10
give you more always better to be a
1:13
little bit more gracious to a certain
1:14
extent than a prenup to avoid having it
1:17
being overturned by a court later on in
1:19
time
