5 or so years ago I was invited to participate in a wedding show. As the Seattle Wedding Lawyer and PreNup Princess I have often been invited but just had never done it. This was going to be a small event and I knew the coordinator so I figured now would as good a time…
I can’t believe I haven’t written on this topic before. Or maybe I did and forgot but anyway, let’s talk petnups or prenups for pets. With the current situation I do my grocery shopping at 6 am. This morning on the radio they were discussing pet prenups. Should you get one? I get this question…
I get asked to review a lot of prenups; I mean who else, right? But I know many people are not getting their prenups reviewed by a lawyer. In my Pretty Woman voice, “Big mistake, huge!” As I always preach a prenup must be reviewed by an attorney for each party. So what is it…

Back in May I was interviewed on the radio about healthy relationships, marriage, and of course prenups. Did you catch it? If not here you go:
