To many, February is the month to celebrate love. And when there is love, there are thoughts of marriage. And when divorce lawyers think about marriage, they often think about prenuptial agreements. For those unfamiliar with a prenuptial agreement (known as a prenup), it is an agreement between marrying parties that serves to protect each party in the event of divorce or death.

The information you need is publicly available but accessing it is often tedious & inefficient, requiring you to wade through dozens of PTO websites or for-free tools to gather what you need. Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.
