Protecting properties in the event of divorce.

[Anastasia Jordan]

How does an investor protect themselves and their properties from being ate up in a divorce?

My friend who is a lawyer said that if you are behind $1 (one single dollar) a lien can be placed on any real property in your name.

Does a prenup really offer protection? Can assets in an LLC you own be seized? Would it be advisable for a single person to just avoid being legally married?
