Kate and Candice talk through everything you need to know about prenuptial agreements - what they cover, how long they last and whether they’re automatically legally binding. They explore how to make sure a prenup is fair for both partners and why these agreements are not just for the wealthy.

Here are some points covered in this episode:

  • What a prenup is and what it includes
  • When to update your prenup
  • How to keep things fair when one partner has more money
  • Why prenups are becoming more common among younger couples
