1. You’re Dealing with a Robot Believe us - you do not want a bot writing your prenup for you. AI has been known to hallucinate, which means you might wind up with made-up assets, fancified state rules, and odd provisions on your document! We understand that the old model for getting a prenup had some flaws, and that’s why we created First. Rather than AI, First uses advanced technology to guide you step-by-step through the prenup process, making the process efficient and clear, but still personalized to your needs . Our digital-first approach means no more clunky paperwork or confusing legal jargon, but we retain a human touch.
2. No State-Licensed Legal Oversight A major red flag is any provider that doesn’t use lawyers licensed in your state, or wasn't drafted by a lawyer licensed in your state. Family law varies by location, and only state-licensed attorneys can ensure your prenup complies with local regulations. First collaborates with top family lawyers and mediators from leading institutions , ensuring your agreement meets the standards in all states we operate in.
3. Fails to Comply with State Family Code State family codes and other regulations pertaining to prenups can vary greatly , even between states that share borders. A prenup that doesn’t align with your state’s family code will be thrown out in court. Watch out for providers who offer generic templates or don’t clearly state their compliance process. At First , we work with local legal experts to ensure every agreement is enforceable and state-specific.
4. No Full Financial Disclosure A valid prenup requires both parties to fully disclose their finances . If a provider doesn’t require or facilitate this, your agreement could be voided for lack of transparency. First guides you through this crucial step, ensuring both partners are protected.
5. Unfair or Unbalanced Terms Beware of any service that allows or encourages lopsided agreements, such as those that heavily favor one party or contain punitive clauses. Courts often reject prenups that are unjust. First is designed to help couples create fair, balanced agreements that reflect mutual respect and protection. That’s why our lawyer-supported product pairs each member of the couple with their own attorney , who will advocate for their wishes as the prenup is finalized.
6. Includes Illegal or Unenforceable Provisions Clauses that attempt to dictate personal behavior, child support, or anything illegal are not only unenforceable—they can jeopardize your entire agreement. First ensures your prenup focuses on what matters: assets, debts, and financial expectations. Worried about what could happen to your shared debt? Don’t want to assume your fiance’s student debt? We cover it.
7. Hidden Fees and Unclear Pricing Watch out for providers that aren’t upfront about costs or tack on unexpected fees. First charges a flat, transparent fee, so you know exactly what you’re paying for—no surprises.
Don’t let red flags ruin your peace of mind. Choose First for a prenup that’s as thoughtful and secure as your relationship deserves. Book a consultation call today!
