What is a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement is a legally binding contract made before marriage, outlining how assets, debts, and financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce, separation, or death.

A postnuptial agreement is similar but is signed after marriage, offering couples the opportunity to clarify financial arrangements and protect their assets at any stage of their marriage.

Both types of agreements provide security, transparency, and legal protection, ensuring fair financial treatment for both spouses in the event of a divorce or separation.

Why You Should Consider a Marital Agreement

Many people think prenuptial agreements are only for the ultra-wealthy, but in reality, they benefit couples of all financial backgrounds. A marital agreement is like an insurance policy—you hope you never have to use it, but it provides peace of mind in unforeseen circumstances.

Key Benefits of a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement:

✔ Protect Premarital Assets – Keep properties, investments, and family inheritances separate.
✔ Avoid Lengthy & Costly Litigation – Reduce legal fees and court battles in the event of a divorce.
✔ Clarify Financial Responsibilities – Outline how finances, expenses, and debts will be handled in the event of a divorce.
✔ Define Spousal Support – Establish fair and predictable alimony terms to avoid disputes later.
✔ Protect Business & Professional Interests – Prevent a divorce from disrupting business ownership or professional practice.
✔ Ensure Debt Protection – Prevent responsibility for a spouse’s debts accumulated before or during the marriage.

What Can Be Included in a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?

✅ Division of Marital & Separate Property – Define what assets remain separate and what will be considered joint property.
✅ Spousal Maintenance (Alimony) Agreements – Set clear terms on if, when, and how much spousal support may be required.
✅ Debt Responsibility – Establish responsibility for existing or future debts, including student loans, mortgages, and credit card debt.
✅ Inheritance & Estate Planning Protection – Ensure that family wealth, inheritances, trust distributions and appreciation are preserved.
✅ Business & Professional Asset Protection – Shield business ownership from being subject to divorce proceedings.
✅ Life Insurance & Retirement Accounts – Determine how benefits will be distributed in case of death or divorce.
✅ Future Income Considerations – Address earnings, bonuses, and potential financial growth.

🚫 What Prenups Can’t Cover: Child custody and child support agreements cannot be predetermined, as courts always prioritize the best interests of the child at the time of separation.

Who Should Get a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?

While many believe that marital agreements are only for the wealthy, they can benefit anyone who wants to secure financial stability and avoid uncertainty in the event of divorce. You should consider an agreement if you:

💰 Own real estate, a business, or substantial assets
💼 Have a high-earning career or expect significant future income
📜 Have family wealth or an expected inheritance
📉 Want to protect yourself from your spouse’s debts
🤝 Want to establish clear financial expectations after marriage

✔ Full Financial Disclosure – Both parties must disclose all assets, debts, and income honestly.
✔ Voluntary Agreement – Neither party can be forced or coerced into signing.
✔ Fair & Reasonable Terms – Courts may invalidate agreements that are extremely one-sided or unfair.
✔ Signed & Notarized – The agreement must be properly executed and legally signed.
