Today on The Divorce &amp; Beyond podcast, host Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes leading attorney Monica Mazzei! Together they explore how pre-nuptial agreements can help partners prepare for their marriage and beyond.  In this episode, Susan Guthrie and her guest, Monica Mazzei focus not on divorce, but instead on marriage and partnerships. They encourage you to think about how a pre-martial agreement can be a collaboration and bring you together, rather than used as a plan for what happens if you part.  Monica Mazzei is a Certified Family Law Specialist representing clients in the Bay Area, with a concentration in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, as well as Los Angeles. She represents high-net-worth clients throughout the litigation process and in mediation. Topics and Golden Nuggets include:  Conscious coupling is very different from conscious uncoupling Why the stigma around having a pre-marital agreement is waning  Monica shares insights on the ideal time to start the conversation about a prenup What happens during pre-marital agreement planning  “Nobody wants to talk about money, divorce, or death. But these are the things you need to talk about.” Prenups should be a collaborative and transparent process, and agreements should be balanced and fair In the event of a divorce, prenups lead to less cost, less time, and less stress because you already worked through these issues “This is your opportunity to ask for what you want while you still like each other. Try doing this ten years from now when you can’t stand each other, it’s a lot harder.”  About this week's special guest: Monica Mazzei Monica Mazzei is a Certified Family Law Specialist representing clients in the Bay Area, with a concentration in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, as well as Los Angeles.
