If You Are Here, you have decided to take your discussions concerning the plans for your marriage to the next level and memorialize them into an agreement!


If you have not already taken the Marry Me Smart Premarital Planning course, which is phase 1 of the Marry Me Smart Method, Click here to learn more. 

If you have already completed the Marry Me Smart Course, you are ready for Phase 2 which is building your marital operating agreement. 

This means you have discussed and disclosed finances, feelings towards children and family values, and shared your expectations for the futures. 

Your are ready to put that in writing and outline the daily operations if your marriage. 

That is amazing!

Prioritize your Marriage now....before you say "I Do."

 I have heard all of the above, and often these are comments that come up during my consultations with people for their divorce. 


My clients say things like: "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 me I 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 I got you!

If you're finding yourself say....

  • "We trust each other and would never do anything in divorce to hurt the other"

  • "We talk about money. We know how much each person makes. So I don't feel like we need to do more than that."

  • "We are on the same page about everything."

  • "We do not really have any assets so we do not need a prenup."

" I'm not sure I even need a prenup?"

I get this question a lot. 


My answer is, until you understand how you and your partner want to operate on a daily basis, you wont really know. 


The common reasons couples divorce being lack of commitment, infidelity, conflict, being too young when married, and financial problems. However, if you look at the root of most of the issues, in my experience, it comes down to communication issues and unmet expectations of the marriage. 


Outlining your expectations and confirming agreements and commitments you two have already shared verbally into an operating agreement, allows you to reduce a lot of conflict that comes with miscommunication. 


Once you have taken the time to go through the Marital Operating Agreement template and training, you will have a better understanding as to whether you two should consider phase 3 of the Marry Me Smart Method: Consulting with experts and lawyers. 


They will then help you decide if a legal premarital agreement is right for you. 


The lawyer in me wants to tell you, yes. Yes you do need a premarital agreement. Everyone should have one with a divorce rate of over 50%.

Hey Hey Friends! I am Chelsea Pagan, a Family Law Attorney and Mediator with a passion for helping people get smart about marriage. I have watched so many people go through one of the most difficult experiences in their lives. I've watched good people turn angry and revengeful. I've watched people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars litigating things they could have avoided. I've seen childhoods taken away because the kids are trapped between two people who love them, but can't seem to find a path out of the messy. 

 I believe that most marriages end in divorce not because of one particular issue, but a failure to manage expectations we have of our partners and either a failure or unwillingness to communicate consistently. I know how to help you Marry Smarter. 

I have been married for almost 10 years. We have an amazing almost 2 year old daughter and each year we choose to find new ways to grow together because we refuse to grow apart.
