Aaron Thomas — How a Prenup Could Save Your Relationship Before It Starts

Aaron Thomas is a nationally recognized family law expert, Harvard Law graduate, and three-time winner of Atlanta’s Best Divorce Attorney. With over 1,000 clients—including NBA Hall of Famers, Super Bowl champions, and Grammy-winning artists—he has built a career helping high-profile and everyday couples navigate marriage, divorce, and financial security.

In this episode of Mindful Money, I talk with Aaron about the modern case for prenuptial agreements. Far from being a sign of distrust, Aaron reframes prenups as a tool for clarity, fairness, and long-term harmony. We discuss how finances reflect deeper relationship dynamics, the importance of transparency before marriage, and how prenups can evolve as couples grow. Aaron shares practical strategies to prevent conflict, protect both partners, and avoid the heartbreak and financial devastation of a messy divorce.
