What To Know About Prenups And Postnups

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal documents that outline how assets and liabilities will be handled in the event of a divorce. You create a prenuptial agreement before marriage, while you create a postnuptial agreement after you are married. Both serve to protect assets, define separate property and outline financial responsibilities. Having a valid agreement can prevent disputes and ensure clarity, providing peace of mind for both parties involved.

These agreements are particularly important for individuals with significant assets or business interests, or those entering a second marriage. They help protect your financial interests and can address issues such as alimony, child support and the division of property. By clearly defining these terms, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can reduce the potential for conflict and litigation in the future.

What Are The Legal Requirements For Creating A Valid Prenuptial Or Postnuptial Agreement?

To create a valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, you and your partner must meet certain legal requirements:

  • Both parties must enter the agreement voluntarily, with a full understanding of its terms.
  • Each party should have independent legal representation to ensure fairness.
  • The agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties.
  • The agreement must disclose all assets and liabilities fully.

You and your partner need to make sure that your counsel drafts and files these documents correctly. Any oversight can render them invalid. Our family lawyers will guide you through the process, ensuring that your documents meet all legal requirements. They will work closely with you to draft an agreement that accurately reflects your intentions and protects your interests.
