I Have No Access to Our Money After Signing a Prenup

Ashley, a stay-at-home mom, called into The Ramsey Show to describe her frustration after signing a prenuptial agreement with her husband, a small business owner with a partner. One year into marriage (after three to four years together), she has no access to household or business finances, doesn't know their income, and handles unpaid paperwork like paying bills and updating insurance for his stores—tasks she's increasingly pulled into despite the prenup stating what's his remains his.

Prenup's Limited Role

The hosts clarify that the prenup only governs asset division upon divorce, such as her not claiming his business. It does not restrict her rights or knowledge during the marriage, nor does it justify exclusion from financial details. They emphasize this is not a prenup or financial problem, but a marriage issue stemming from her husband's controlling behavior. He acts like a "jerk," prioritizing his business over her and their daughter, which predates the prenup and reveals his character.
