Remarriage? Who wants to think about the legalities of anything past signing the new marriage certificate when you are getting married again? For most, remarriage is a significant turning point of a renewed beginning with all the hopes and dreams that most of us lost during divorce or widowhood, hopefully, with the lessoned learnt from the first experience.
Who wants to think about legals issues and considerations of the impact on others when we want to be selfish and focus on our 'special day'? Before walking down this isle or, if you prefer, standing on a beach or overlooking a volcano to say your wedding vows you may want to consider the complications that might arise which may cloud your bright, shinny future. Ben Franklin said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". In this case having your remarriage legal issues well in place before you promise the rest of your life to another may add to the relief allowing you to actually enjoy your 'special day' and save you a lot of money should the unthinkable come to fruition.
