Prenuptial agreements are no longer just for Hollywood power couples such as Jay Z and Beyoncé — they’re on the rise in the UK too. Host Claer Barrett sits down with family lawyer Richard Hogwood from Stewarts Law to discuss the legal status of prenups as well as the recent influx of requests at his firm, and quizzes James Brookner, founder of the online-platform Wenup, on an affordable route to drafting a prenup. Also in the Money Clinic studio are newly weds-to-be Steve and Georgina, who explain why they decided on a prenup and how they navigated the tricky conversation around it.
