4 Big, Busted Myths about the Marital Agreement

It's an unfortunate fact: Few legal contracts have a sordid, unfairly earned reputation like the Marital Agreement. More commonly called a Prenuptial (or Postnuptial) Agreement, we usually hear about a Marital Agreement when a high-profile couple is about to get hitched, but one half of the pair doesn't want one because they feel it cheapens the marriage (or rather, the divorce settlement).
