Are People Getting Married Less or Obtaining Pre-Nuptial Agreements More? 

December 1, 2025
Stott, Hollowell, Windham & Stancil

Here are 5 reasons why you need a Pre-Nuptial Agreement in today’s society:
  1. We know the grim statistics: Almost 50% of all first marriages end in divorce and in 2025, second marriage divorce rates are around 60%.
  2. Marriage is still a commitment that people want to engage in both culturally and sometimes for religious reasons. Many couples are prioritizing commitment and long-term partnerships, with marriage being one way to express that commitment. Marriage is not a thing of the past! A Pre-Nuptial Agreement can help make this process a lot less scary and uncertain. 

  3. Pre-Nuptial Agreements are like an insurance policy for your marriage. A Prenuptial Agreement is beneficial for protecting assets and debts, clarifying financial expectations, and streamlining the divorce process. They are particularly crucial for second marriages. 

  4. Pre-Nuptial Agreements are particularly helpful for individuals with significant separate assets, businesses, or children from previous relationships, as it can protect inheritances and pre-marital property, and define spousal support and debt responsibilities before a marriage. 

  5. By creating a Pre-Nuptial Agreement, couples can ensure clarity, avoid lengthy legal battles, and safeguard their financial futures.  (Think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce).

 

Please contact our office regarding obtaining a Pre-Nuptial Agreement today. We would love to help you navigate through this process.
