Hopefully if you are preparing to tie the knot you are thinking about all the positive things that marriage can bring, such as spending your lives together and building a strong, nurturing family. However, not every marriage lasts forever, and in some cases, it might be wise to review and reflect on your personal financial situation to determine if a prenuptial agreement would be the best thing to protect your wealth and your assets.
Protecting Your Assets
Often times it is natural to enter into a marriage without thinking of prenuptial agreements. It may seem unromantic to bring up postnuptial agreements after the wedding, but it can be important to a marriage. Marriages are often more successful when partners know where the other stands, and respect boundaries. Pre- and post-nuptial agreements are a saving grace to individuals if a marriage ends. We are mindful of these issues as we help our clients find legal and binding arrangements that will help them move forward in their marriage, or in the case of divorce.
Unfortunately, it has become all too common for marriages to end in divorce. The process of separation is painful and difficult on its own. When the parties involved have pre-discussed, legal boundaries it helps ease the already-stressful situation. It can also help avoid litigation, or be helpful in the case of litigation.
If any of the following scenarios apply to your current situation, you should consider entering a pre and postnuptial agreement.
- One spouse is considerably wealthier than the other
- One or both spouses have significant debt they bringing into the marriage
- One or both spouses have property they are bringing into the marriage
- One or both spouses have been married before
- One or both spouses have children
