Valerie Jules McCarthy, counsel in the firm’s Family Law Practice, recently authored an article in New Jersey Family titled “Top 3 Misconceptions About Prenuptial Agreements — And Why They’re Just Not True.” The article discusses and debunks how common myths about prenuptial agreements are often wrong.

The bottom line is a prenuptial agreement is not a red flag, it’s a smart, proactive step for any couple entering marriage. Far from undermining love, it helps protect it by fostering honest conversations and setting clear expectations. And if the relationship does not work out, it allows both people to part ways with dignity and civility. In New Jersey, working with experienced counsel can ensure your agreement is not only enforceable, but fair to both sides. Prenuptial agreements are not taboo or a prediction of doom, when done properly, they are a tool for clarity, trust, and peace of mind,” writes McCarthy.
