Prenuptial And Postnupital Agreements
Simply put, a prenuptial agreement is a contract that you and your future spouse execute before getting married, which determines how your property will be divided if your marriage ends in divorce. A postnuptial agreement is similar, except it is entered into after the marriage has taken place. These agreements can:
- Designate and keep separate your separate property
- Define marital property and provide for its distribution
- Provide for or waive spousal support
- Grant a distributive award
- Keep business interests separate and/or provide for their division
- Preserve retirement funds
- Waive rights in an estate
While no one gets married expecting to get divorced, having a valid, enforceable prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can guarantee you and your future spouse economic security, regardless of what happens down the road.
