Getting Married This June? Here’s Why A Background Check Might Belong On Your To-Do List
June marks the start of wedding season—a time full of celebration, commitment, and big life changes. But as exciting as this season may be, it’s also a time for making smart, informed decisions that can impact your future for years to come.
At O’Brien & Associates, we understand that marriage is not just a romantic milestone—it’s a legal and financial partnership. That’s why more individuals and families are turning to background checks before getting married as a responsible step in protecting their future.
Why Do We Recommend Background Checks Before Marriage?
Marriage joins more than just two people. It often merges financial responsibilities, family obligations, and legal arrangements. While trust is essential, so is clarity. A professionally conducted background investigation can help confirm that what you believe about your partner aligns with the facts.
Common reasons to request a background check before marriage include:
-
Past criminal records
-
Undisclosed financial issues, such as bankruptcies or debt
-
Prior marriages or custody arrangements
-
Legal judgments or pending lawsuits
-
Inconsistencies in employment or education claims
Even the most committed relationships can benefit from transparency. A background check is not about suspicion—it’s about ensuring you’re entering into marriage with your eyes wide open.
The Benefits Go Beyond The Ceremony
While background checks before marriage are often requested before the wedding day, their benefits can extend far beyond the honeymoon. They can also play a key role in:
-
Updating estate plans or wills
-
Establishing guardianship or financial authority
-
Avoiding liability in joint business or property ventures
When you take the time to verify the facts now, you’re protecting your emotional, legal, and financial future.
