A prenuptial agreement (prenup) is a legal contract entered into before marriage that outlines how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce or death. A postnuptial agreement serves the same purpose but is created after marriage.
These agreements are especially important when one or both partners have significant assets, business interests, children from prior relationships, or substantial debt. They can address property division, spousal support, inheritance rights, and more.
For a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to be enforceable, both parties must fully disclose their finances, have independent legal counsel, and enter the agreement voluntarily without coercion. An experienced attorney ensures your agreement meets all legal requirements in your state.
Key Considerations
- Asset and debt protection
- Business interest preservation
- Spousal support provisions
- Inheritance and estate planning
- Full financial disclosure requirements
- Enforceability standards by state
