Ask any divorce attorney in Fort Worth and they will tell you that above and beyond all else… Cover your assets. Married couples can spend their entire lives together building up a nice portfolio only to have one of them lose everything in a divorce. Best case scenario; split it all down the middle.

Prenuptial Agreements

If you have a substantial amount of money before you are married or plan on making it while married you may want to take the time to draw up a prenuptial agreement. It may not sound like the most romantic move in the world, but any lawyer will tell you that it is probably one of the smartest things that two people who plan to marry can do. It may take a little back and forth discussion, but eventually most couples can agree on some type of arrangement.

Always Cover Your Assets

If no prenuptial agreement was made and you got married anyways, the best way to manage your assets is probably with the advice of a financial planner. In this wavering economy, investments can be, at best, fleeting. Stocks are all over the place and even real estate has taken a hit.

Protect your assets before marriage or figure out how to split them down the middle; in divorce and money, nobody really wins.
