Is your marriage plagued by one or more of these issues?
Later marriages and asset protection driving use of prenups
Members of the millennial generation in Minnesota and nationwide get married at later ages than previous generations. As a result, they often enter relationships with individual assets that they want to protect if divorce should occur. These reasons appear to be driving more people to negotiate prenuptial agreements according to a survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. The respondents reported a 51% increase in millennial clients signing prenuptial agreements.

It has been difficult to establish the frequency of crashes related to drowsy driving because data often depends on self-reporting.

Over 50% of the drowsiness-related crashes took place after dark.
