Premarital and Postmarital Agreements
​
Why Couples Should Have a Premarital, or Postmarital Agreement:
​
-
Safeguard assets and income for children of an earlier marriage.
-
Ensure that certain assets acquired before the relationship remain their own in the event that the relationship ends.
-
Address the following issues:
-
Debt responsibilities
-
Support obligations
-
Real and personal property ownership and/or division if the relationship ends
-
Rights to income
-
Expense-sharing arrangements​​
-
-
Couples often enter these agreements in anticipation of divorce in order to expedite the process.
-
They may also be useful in cases where your circumstances change subsequent to the marriage, such as through the creation of a business.
-
Lastly, couples who have run into unanticipated disagreements or issues during their marriages may want to consider resolving them through a postnuptial agreement.
-
These agreements may resolve the areas of conflict and keep the marriage intact.
