Jeff advises you may want a prenup if any of the following apply to your situation:
+ You believe family law treats unmarried couples unfairly
+ You want to avoid an expensive legal case if the relationship ends
+ You are entering a second (or third) relationship
+ Existing estate plans
+ Ownership in a business
+ You own a home prior to the relationship
+ You have more assets or a higher income than your partner
+ You expect a significant inheritance or who will be taking over a family business
+ Both partners have significant assets
+ One party has significant debts
+ You seek economic protection upon separation or death of your partner
+ You have children from a previous relationship
+ One partner is foregoing a career due to the relationship

Even if you decide that a prenup is not for you, going through the discussions with your partner is beneficial. It is a good idea to know what your partner’s assets, liabilities, and income are in addition to what their attitude towards handling money is, and what they would consider fair if your relationship ever ended.
