"I don't need a prenup. I don't have any assets."

I hear this all the time. And it's one of the biggest misconceptions I come across.

A prenup isn't about what you have today. It's about what you'll earn, build, and potentially owe in the future. Under Illinois law, almost everything acquired during a marriage is presumed to be marital property. That includes the house you buy together, retirement accounts, and any business you start from scratch.

A prenup also protects you from your spouse's debt, addresses spousal maintenance, and keeps anticipated inheritances clearly separate. Two people entering a marriage with student loans and a shared Netflix account can still benefit enormously from having this conversation before the wedding.

Think of it as a planning tool, not a pessimistic one. We wrote about this in depth on the blog.

You don’t need the answer.
You need a next step.
Instead of spiraling in “Should I get divorced?”—
take smart, grounded action.
Get informed. Get organized. Get clear.
Clarity comes from movement.
Smart Next Steps helps you move forward—wisely, not reactively.

I’m so excited to share this with you!

For years people have called me, and paid for consultations, out of fear. Not because they were ready to get divorced, but because they had no idea how to start making a decision about divorce. They were so afraid that they would put themselves in a bad position. They had no idea how to start.

I made this short course so those faced with this difficult decision could feel confident. Imagine knowing you could take critical steps to protect yourself without committing to divorce. Imagine it’s easy, because a divorce lawyer did all the thinking for you. I even called it the Smart Next Steps course in the URL, so you don’t have a record of buying something with divorce in the title!

For the past many years, people have paid $250 for a 30 minute consultation to hear my advice before they’re really ready for legal advice. But now, they can get guidance whenever they need it, and follow at their own pace, for just $49. This is the cheapest this course is ever going to be, since I’m just kicking it off.

Check it out here, and please share to your networks!
