Judy Poller, co-chair of Pryor Cashman's Family Law Group, recently authored the USA Chapter in Corporate Livewire's 2019 Family Law "Expert Guide." Her article, titled, "Prenuptial Agreements On The Rise: Millennials Grow Up and Wise Up," outlined the increasing trend for couples born between 1981 and 1986 to use prenuptial agreements before getting married.
Poller notes, "The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) reports that 62% of practicing family law lawyers saw a substantial increase in the number of clients seeking prenups over the past several years. Much of that increase seems to stem from the millennial generation – those born between 1981 and 1996 – who are getting married for the first time, have no prior children, and who do not have substantial pre-marital assets (although they may have accumulated some assets) or the expectation of large inheritances."
