Survey says: Improved economy spurs growing interest in prenups

Adjoining states, markedly differing alimony regimes

As we have noted in past select blog posts, the singular nature in which the United States is laid out — 50 states, each with its own government and state enactments on matters from A to Z — makes for some interesting and material differences in legal outcomes across state lines.
