First of all, I am happily married. But I still believe that divorce-proofing my business should be an important part of my financial plan, even if I never need to (or intend to) use it.
My husband and I do not have a prenuptial agreement. I plan to start a business soon. And I want to introduce to my husband the concept of protecting myself from divorce. I don't know how to start this conversation yet. Even if we are happy, I am operating under the framework that this (divorce) can't or won't happen to me/us.
I do not want to put all my hard work, and my ownership stake in my business at risk. More so that my husband will not be involved in the company anyway. He is currently employed and has a good job.
What are my options? How do I go about this? What if he does not agree?
a.) Domestic or Foreign Asset Protection Trust?
b.) Postnuptial Agreement?
When we allocate marital property in a divorce, does it matter that we are from a non-community property state?
Thanks!
