Is a Prenup Right for You?
Prenuptial agreements are essentially written contracts between prospective spouses where they agree on how certain issues—such as alimony and property division—are settled in divorce and even each partner’s marital duties during the marriage. Many people assume prenuptial agreements are only for the wealthy; however, they can address may circumstances which relate to all couples.
The following are the common circumstances which could benefit from a prenuptial
agreement:
- When one has more significant assets or business interests before the marriage compared to the other spouse
- When one or both spouses have children from a previous marriage or relationship
- When one or both spouses have substantial personal debts before the marriage
- When one or both spouses expect to receive a large inheritance
- When one spouse agrees to support the other spouse in order to obtain higher education or professional training
- When one spouse decides to stay at home to raise the children while forgoing a lucrative career
The prenuptial agreement must be in writing, signed by both parties, and includes an expansive disclosure of both spouses’ financial information. The terms of the agreement must be fair and cannot be used to restrict child custody and visitation rights.
