Money, Marriage, and Divorce: Prenups, Joint Accounts, and More

Marriage is a romantic relationship and a legal contract that merges finances, liabilities, and goals. Ryan covers the financial planning steps most couples skip entirely: having honest conversations about income, debt, and spending habits before they become sources of conflict, and making sure your accounts, beneficiaries, and estate documents reflect your new legal status.He also makes the case for prenuptial agreements without the stigma. A prenup is not about expecting a divorce. It is about building your own process for a potential separation while you both still like each other and are thinking clearly. Without one, the state's default process applies. Ryan also covers joint account titling, updating wills and powers of attorney after marriage, and how to approach financial conversations as a team. Please consult a qualified attorney or financial professional before making decisions on prenuptial agreements, asset titling, or estate planning documents.Find "Your Fiscal Physical" the book on AmazonIf you have suggestions or feedback, please email us at: [email protected], as always, Stay the Course!
