Why do I Need a Prenuptial Agreement?

Many people have the misconception that having a prenuptial agreement is simply preparation for failure. However, in today's world, marriage is not only a commitment of love between two people - it is also a major legal commitment. It makes sense to have an understanding of what that agreement means ahead of time.

The following is a non-comprehensive list of situations in which a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement may be warranted:

• One spouse has significant assets
• One spouse owns a business
• One spouse has personal debts
• One spouse has children

What Topics are Covered in a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement typically addresses topics relating to assets and property division. In order to enforce a prenup, couples must disclose their assets to each other. If one spouse wants to keep certain assets separate, a prenuptial agreement is the document in which to address this.

What is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement addresses the topics of asset and property division, and is drafted after the date of marriage. It allows couples to separate assets before a divorce is final. The division of property that was acquired during the marriage (marital property) can be addressed in a postnup. Additionally, a postnup can be entered into a divorce decree when a divorce is final.
