Built by the attorney who's seen every way it goes wrong

Trusted Prenup is the prenuptial agreement designed by James Sexton, Esq. — built for modern couples who'd rather make their own rules.

Why we exist

Here's the argument James Sexton has been making in public for two decades — in courtrooms, on television, in his book, and across the biggest podcasts in the world: every married couple already has a prenup. Yours was written by your state legislature, it's one-size-fits-all, and it changes whenever the law does. The only real question is whether the two of you would rather write your own rules. Trusted Prenup exists to make writing your own something every couple can afford.

After more than two decades and thousands of divorces, Sexton learned one thing the hard way: the couples who plan together, stay honest together. A prenup isn't planning for failure — it's the most candid financial conversation most couples will ever have, and it's far cheaper to have it now than in a courtroom later.

Traditional prenups cost thousands of dollars in legal fees and weeks of back-and-forth. Trusted Prenup turns the same core agreement into a guided online questionnaire you complete together — with optional attorney review and online notarization when you want the extra layer.

Who's behind it

James J. Sexton, Esq. is a New York divorce and family law attorney with more than 25 years of matrimonial litigation behind him — thousands of divorces, including some of the most high-profile cases in America. He wrote the bestseller If You're in My Office, It's Already Too Late (Henry Holt, 2018), reissued as How to Stay in Love — a divorce lawyer's guide to staying together, which is the whole point. Every template, clause, and question in Trusted Prenup reflects what he's seen hold up — and fall apart — in real cases.

He's been saying this for years

None of this was invented to sell a product. Sexton has spent two decades telling anyone who'll listen — long before podcasts, and lately on the biggest ones in the world — that the prenup conversation makes marriages stronger, not weaker. Listen for yourself:
