What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is considered a legal contract entered into by two people before they marry. It outlines how property, income, and financial responsibilities will be divided in the event of divorce, legal separation, or death. It can also address other matters, such as spousal support and financial obligations during the marriage.
What Can A Prenup Do For You
A prenup has nothing to do with whether or not you love and trust your future spouse. It is, however, an agreement that can protect both parties with respect to property. In order for a prenup to be considered an option, both parties must agree to it. A skilled family lawyer can help with each step of the process.
Important things you should consider during the prenup process:
- Get a full and accurate list of each party's assets during the time of the prenuptial agreement, including properties, vehicles, and finances.
- It's ideal to have your prenup finished a couple of months before the wedding. A prenup is not something you want to rush or leave until the last minute.
- Prenups don't always just cover rights to property in the event of a divorce, they can also be used to establish ownership and rights of control.
- Retaining a prenup agreement attorney is essential. Don't try to do it yourself by following a template you found online. You could end up regretting it in a divorce battle.
Even though it can protect many things, a prenup cannot be used to solve certain matters, such as child support or protecting provisions that violate a criminal law. If a prenup is to be enforced, it is essential that fairness and disclosure are represented during the crafting process.
