Let's Make a Deal

Does a prenuptial agreement sow the seeds of divorce or provide a crash course in conflict resolution? Two attorneys duke it out.

Dubin: Yes. If you have financial arrangements set, there's still going to be emotional issues, but they'll be circumscribed. It's better for the kids; they'll be exposed to less conflict.

Margulies: No. People will challenge the prenup, or they'll say, 'Okay, you got me on the prenup. I'm going to sabotage you everywhere else.'
