Hey folks, I have been thinking a lot about how to protect my assets in case of a divorce. It seems like it could get complicated fast. Does anyone have tips or strategies that work? I’d love to hear what you all think.
Definitely look into a prenup if you’re not married yet. It’s a solid way to outline how assets get divided.

What exactly is a prenup? I’ve heard the term but not sure how it works.

It’s basically a legal agreement you make before getting married that specifies how things will be divided if you divorce.
Keeping separate bank accounts is also a good idea. It helps show what’s yours and what’s joint.

That makes sense! I guess it prevents any confusion later on, right?

Exactly! Just make sure to avoid mixing funds. It can get messy otherwise.
Trusts are another option. They can help protect assets from being divided in a divorce.

I didn’t know that! What kind of assets can you put in a trust?

Pretty much anything, like property or investments. Just talk to a legal expert to set it up right.
It’s super important to know your state laws too. They can really affect how assets are divided.

True! I’ve heard different states have totally different rules regarding asset division.
