Aaron Thomas, known as Prenup Guy, is here to talk with us about prenuptial agreements and second marriages. If you’re getting divorced, the last thing you’re probably thinking about is getting married again. But many divorced women WILL get married again, so it is important to protect their finances with a prenup.
There are many misconceptions about prenups, but Aaron explains that a prenup is simply a set of rules that determine how finances are managed during and after a marriage. It is not just a plan for divorce. Prenups can help establish transparency and facilitate discussions about financial matters during the marriage.
Learn what the “one paycheck rule” is, and hear how prenups protect both spouses… they don’t just benefit the wealthier spouse. Aaron also addresses the complexities of modern marriages and the importance of cohabitation agreements for long-term relationships without marriage.

Our guest this week is Leah Wietholter, an accomplished forensic accountant who shows us how easy it is to find hidden money in your divorce. We talk about the need for forensic accountants in some cases, but in many divorce cases people can uncover hidden income and assets on their own.
Leah walks us through using bank statements, credit card statements, and pay stubs to track financial transactions and identify hidden accounts. She emphasizes the importance of organizing and categorizing financial records and provides tips on presenting evidence to your attorney. Making lists of transactions will be important, but you don’t necessarily have to use fancy spreadsheets or know a lot about accounting.
Trust your own knowledge and instincts when investigating your finances!
