What Can Marital Agreements Include?

Prenups and postnups are legal agreements made between partners, either before or after marriage, that regard finances and property. Their provisions can cover many different things, including:

• How property will be managed during the marriage
• The rights each party has regarding different assets
• The division of property in the event of a divorce
• Alimony arrangements in the event of a divorce

There are certain issues that such agreements are not allowed to cover, such as child support and child custody.

Our marital agreement attorneys can guide you on what you can use prenups and postnups to address.

Why Form A Prenup Or Postnup?

Forming a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement offers several potential benefits, including:

• Asset protection: They can include terms protecting your interests in businesses, real estate, investments and other key property.
• Clarity: By setting clear expectations on how finances and property will be handled, these documents can reduce the potential for future conflict, particularly should a divorce occur.

Speaking with a skilled prenup lawyer, like a member of our team, can help you understand what particular advantages a marital agreement could have, given your specific situation and goals.

How To Form A Prenup Or Postnup

Forming these agreements involves several steps, including:

• Having initial discussions with your partner
• Making financial disclosures
• Determining terms
• Drafting an agreement
• Reviewing the agreement
• Signing the agreement

While not legally required, having an attorney’s help with the process is advisable. It can help ensure your agreement is legally sound and properly protects your interests.

Are Prenups And Postnups Enforceable?

Yes, they generally are enforceable if they are in writing and signed. However, a court will not enforce such an agreement if it finds that the prenup or postnup was:

• Unconscionable at signing and lacked proper disclosure
• Signed involuntarily
• Reached by fraud, duress or coercion

Our marital agreement attorneys can help you take steps to ensure the enforceability of your prenup or postnup.

Can You Change A Marital Agreement?

Yes, couples can modify or terminate these agreements. The changes need to be put in writing and signed by both parties. Our asset protection agreement attorneys can help you with prenuptial and postnuptial modification.
