What certainty does a pre or post-nuptial offer?

It provides the certainty of what’s going to happen in the event that this marriage breaks down and ultimately ends in a divorce. From the timing and cost standpoint, and from taking out issues that are going to be in controversy between the parties, we really don’t see that there’s any downside to it. For that reason we recommend to almost everyone that they enter into a prenup before they get married.
