IS A PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Avoiding a messy divorce can be extremely valuable.

That alone may be reason enough for couples to create a prenup. Other advantages include the protection of separate assets, properties, and valuables. While a couple may choose to mix some of their assets, there may be other more important items that they wish to keep separate and governed by this official legal document.

A PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT CAN SPECIFICALLY ALLOW YOU TO:

  • Safeguard one spouse from the other’s debts or liabilities
  • Make provisions for children from previous relationships
  • Ensure family property and heirlooms stay within the family
  • Set a plan for how property will be divided in the case of a divorce
  • Define what responsibilities each spouse has during the marriage

However, prenups do not give you any legal means to waive a spouse’s right to alimony, make a child custody, or support agreement. In all cases, couples should discuss the option of a prenuptial with each other and a lawyer before pursuing this option. If both parties are not onboard, the document will not be considered valid.
