The Craziest Prenup A Divorce Attorney Has Ever Seen

The gist

1. Sexton says prenups work best when both partners see them as mutual protection, not one person guarding assets against the other.
2. The most extreme clause Sexton has seen enforced cut alimony by $50,000 for every 10 pounds gained after marriage.
3. Sexton says prenups only became common about 20 years ago, once divorce rates rose enough that people wanted to write their own rules.
4. Address small changes in a relationship early, Sexton says, because waiting until problems are large makes the conversation much harder.
