Protecting Your Assets with Prenuptial Agreements

To prevent unnecessary conflict during a marriage, many couples choose to create prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. These agreements typically address many issues, including finances, property division, life insurance, family pets, spousal support, retirement benefits, and more. These issues are common areas of contempt found in marriages and legally deciding how to handle them could potentially alleviate or prevent any serious problems in the future.

Understanding Prenuptial vs. Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements are complete before a couple is married, and postnuptial (or postmarital) agreements are complete sometime after the couple has already been married.

The eyes of the law consider prenuptial agreements valid, while postnuptial agreements are not.

After creating both documents, the parties are no longer independent, and their assets have already legally merged.

As a result, Postnuptial agreements can be much trickier and contain many gray areas.
To be considered legally binding agreements, all parties must know all aspects they agree to in either form of agreement.

Neither party may threaten, coerce, or force the other into signing. Finally, the agreement must be considered fair to both parties without favoring one.

Certain clauses in prenuptial or postnuptial agreements that are unenforceable include:

• Any agreements on child custody or visitation rights
• Any decision to waive one party’s right to child support
• Any decision to waive one party’s right to spousal support
