A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement isn't a lack of trust, it's a plan. We help couples put clear, enforceable terms in writing, so a future disagreement never has to become a fight.
-
A prenuptial agreement can address how property owned before marriage will be treated during the marriage and if the marriage later ends. It can also address certain income, debts, business interests, investments, and other financial rights. The agreement should clearly identify the property and establish the intended treatment of those assets.
-
A prenup may address ownership interests in a business and establish how the business, its appreciation, or income connected to it will be treated in a divorce. The agreement should account for the circumstances of the business and the interests of both spouses rather than relying on a generic provision.
-
A prenuptial agreement may address financial obligations between spouses, including certain provisions concerning spousal support. Whether a particular provision will be enforceable can depend on how the agreement was created, its terms, and the circumstances surrounding enforcement.
-
Yes. A spouse may challenge a prenuptial agreement under certain circumstances. Questions about disclosure of assets and debts, voluntariness, timing, representation, and the terms of the agreement can become important when determining whether provisions should be enforced.

What Are Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements?
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal contracts that clarify financial arrangements between spouses.
While similar in purpose, they differ in terms of timing:
- Prenuptial agreements - These are established before marriage, outlining how assets, debts, and financial responsibilities will be managed during the marriage or in the event of a divorce.
- Postnuptial agreements - Created after marriage, these serve the same functions as prenuptial agreements but allow couples to make adjustments based on changes in their financial circumstances or priorities.
Both agreements can address property division, spousal support, business interests, how family heirlooms should be handled, and more. By setting clear financial expectations, these legal agreements can reduce misunderstandings and foster a stronger foundation for your marital partnership.
