James SextonNew York divorce trial attorney and author
Sexton says prenups have been meaningfully enforceable since the 1960s but became popular with the general public only about 20 years ago.
“They've been enforceable in a real way since the 1960s. They really didn't get super popular with the general population until maybe like 20 years ago”

Sexton says the craziest enforceable prenup clause he has seen reduced a wife's alimony by $50,000 for every 10 pounds gained.
“The craziest thing that was enforceable was if for every 10 pounds that she gained during the marriage, she lost $50,000 in alimony”

Sexton says he raises prenups by the third date because couples should discuss the economy of the relationship early.
“I talk about a prenup on the third date. Like, I think right away that you need to start getting that discourse out there”
