What is a prenuptial agreement?

If you’re getting married, or have you married in the near future, think about a prenuptial agreement. Money and communication are usually two of the top three reasons that people get divorced. It’s important to protect each spouse. The best reason to enter into a prenuptial or premarital agreement, it’s to foster a healthy communication about your finances. Both spouses know what they provide in a relationship, and you can’t divorce over finances.

But what exactly is a prenuptial agreement? A prenup is a contract I just entered into with you prior to a marriage. This type of agreement will always work regardless if this is your first or your sixth marriage. It’s not just for the rich and famous, everyone has something worth protecting, something that means something to the end, that they would want to keep in their families. Prenups give guidance as to what happens to property, debts, future inheritance and your earnings. 

A couple that is prepared to walk down the aisle should not have any intention of divorcing, while they are walking down the aisle. Statistics tell us that reality says differently.

What is a postnuptial agreement?

But what happens if you are already married? You didn’t get a prenup, so you’re screwed right? No, absolutely not! A postnuptial agreement is an effective way to document intentions for your earnings, your assets during the marriage, as well as in the event of a future divorce. Postnuptial Agreements are usually used early in the marriage when the couple did not have time to finalize a prenup before the wedding or 10 years down the line when the couple is aware that there are issues that are a threat to their relationship.
