A divorce lawyer, speaking with Steven Bartlett, argues that discussing a prenup is a healthy exercise for couples. He says every marriage already has a prenup, either written by the state or by the couple. He recounts wedding expos refusing to take his money for a prenup table.
He covers how child support works: in New York it is 17% of gross income for one child, rising to 31% for four, and it can be modified every three years after a 30% income change. His largest case involved $65,000 a month. He also describes leveraged celebrities, trust structures that hide wealth, crypto divorces, and women paying alimony. His closing advice is to pay attention to the you, the me, and the we, and to lean into hard conversations.
