Episode Summary

Relationship agreements are for everyone. Would you believe it?! British Columbia-based lawyers Aimee Schalles and Amanda Baron do.

With over two decades of combined legal experience, they co-founded Jointly with a mission to make prenuptial, cohabitation, and postnuptial agreements more accessible to Canadians. In a few straightforward steps, their system helps you create a custom agreement for under $500.

Aimee and Amanda want to make it clear: relationship agreements, such as prenups, are not solely for the wealthy, a sign of mistrust or expecting divorce, or being unromantic and unfair— all long-held misconceptions in society. So, in this super informative episode, we discuss:
