Remember the good old days when people just got married and then fought out their custody and money problems in court, later? Well, not so fast. The good old days usually included a long time attorney who structured some kind of legal instrument behind-the-scenes.
All this and the Arkansas attorney who ran an ad titled,
"Update your Prenup!"
got us thinking.
We reasoned if we constantly updated our prenup, when could it ever turn into, you know, a marriage?
At some point we concluded it just made sense for prenups to have a termination date.
Jane Welch had one and Jane's a smart cookie. So when she and Jack Welch divorced (he cheated) it was years past the termination date and Jane was set.
Then we got to thinking about bifurcated divorces and confidentiality clauses and what they really mean. Been quoted on that.
“Anyone asking you to sign a confidentiality clause has something to hide. That’s the bottom line of a confidentiality clause. Bad behavior or sliding money around and the injured party is prohibited from talking about it. How is that different than a gag order?"
Something to think about. (Herman Cain knows about that.)
