Marriage is a life-changing event that each party hopes will last forever. However, despite the best intentions, divorce happens more often than couples would like, making the need for a prenuptial agreement an important consideration. Statistics show that 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce, while the percentage is even higher for second and subsequent marriages.
Regardless of the circumstances, prenuptial agreements can be a benefit to couples. Prenuptial agreements, known as prenups, are essentially contracts that couples sign before the marriage. This contract lays out the terms of the divorce and how the assets, debts, alimony and other issues will be distributed in the event of a divorce.
Postnuptial agreements, like prenuptial agreements, are contracts that determine the terms of the divorce, but they are executed sometime after the marriage.
Once thought to be used by wealthy couples only, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are recommended for everyone. There are many benefits to signing these agreements. An effective agreement can save litigation costs and minimize the stress of divorce.
A pre or post nuptial agreement can cover a wide range of issues and may consist of complex requirements that are not part of a typical contract. Therefore, it’s important to contact an attorney that’s experienced in creating these agreements.
Additionally, if you are presenting with a pre or post nuptial agreement, it’s advised to contact an attorney to review the agreement before you sign it.
