Everyone wants a prenup. Very few people get one
About this episode
This episode explores the disparity between young Canadians' interest in prenups and the actual signing of them, featuring insights from a Toronto woman and lawyer Aimee Schalles.
More than half of young Canadians say they’d want a prenup if they got married or entered a common-law relationship. But only a small share have actually signed one. So what’s stopping them? In this episode, we look at the gap between interest and action and why prenups may still be harder, pricer and more emotionally charged than many expect. We hear from a Toronto woman who says getting a prenup with her husband became the most difficult part of wedding planning. Then, Aimee Schalles, lawyer and co-founder of Jointly.ca, breaks down what happens if you don’t have a prenup, why more young Canadians want them, and why so few actually sign.
