Premarital Course
What if you could build a strong marriage now by taking an online course that helps you address all the hard conversations that often lead to divorce?
At Hepner & Pagan, LLP our attorneys have participated in hundreds of divorce cases and have acquired a wide range of information and knowledge as to what led to the breakdown of these marriages.
That knowledge is packaged in a premarital planning course to help your marriage thrive, narrated and prepared by Partner, Chelsea A. Pagan.
So is this course for you?
Are you in a serious relationship or engaged and currently planning a wedding?
Yay! Congrats. That’s huge and exciting.
Does wedding planning include how you and your significant other are going to tackle the hard questions like money, kids, values, work life balance, and personal goals?
Does it include a line item for talking to an attorney to get educated on laws of your state?
We can tell you that the majority of people who answer yes to the first question, answer no to the second two.
You are not alone and you are definitely in the right place.
Our divorce clients often say things similar to:
“We got married young so we didn’t have anything to protect in a prenup.”
“We talked about money, but he handled all the investments, so I don’t know where all the money went.”
“We agreed on goals when we got married but her goals changed and that wasn’t the life I wanted.”
Generally people do not get married while also picturing themselves getting a divorce.
Trust us, we get it. Prenups have been given a bad reputation for being a tool of the wealthy or a means to keep your partner from getting a piece of some family money or business.
“They are so not romantic.”
But this is all wrong. Premarital planning and prenups are operating agreements for your marriage. And yes, part of it decides what happens in the event of divorce.
Planning for a divorce is a way of reverse engineering your marriage to prepare for all the pitfalls and changes a marriage can encounter.
Marriage is one of the most legally significant things you can do…..next to dying. Yet, people just wanna wing it. But we got you! Here is what this course includes:
8 outlined segments focused on different marital conversations necessary to build a lasting foundation.
