A Sign of a Healthy Marriage? The Prenup WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE THIS MARRIAGE AGREEMENT

Most people don’t enter into their marriage thinking about divorce, but contemplating the “what if” could save you and your spouse time, emotional energy, and money in the event of divorce. While some may view prenuptial and postnuptial agreements as negative or pessimistic, these documents can be powerful tools. The Anatomy A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, is entered into by a couple prior to the legal act of marriage. Prenups outline the steps that will be taken should the marriage end in divorce. For instance, some prenups outline that whatever each spouse brought into the marriage is what they will take with them should the marriage end. A postnuptial agreement is very similar, with the only exception being that couples enter into these agreements after they are legally married. In order to be valid, prenups and postnups are required to be in writing and signed by both parties. Each party must make a full and comprehensive disclosure of all their assets as well. The Value A prenuptial agreement can be a great tool for prompting couples to discuss financial situations before entering into a contract for marriage. Use the creation of a prenuptial agreement as the basis for some of these difficult discussions

and create a foundation of great communication for the start of your marriage. If all goes well, this just might be a sign that your marriage will never see the prenuptial agreement again.

Beyond a little premarriage counseling, it’s important to remember that no one

has a crystal ball that will tell them what the future will hold, and regardless of how sure you are about marrying your spouse or staying married to them, divorce can happen to anyone. A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can lessen the length and cost of this process. Furthermore, these documents can be updated or even revoked. As your marriage continues, your assets blend together, and as your lives grow, you can amend your agreement to reflect your current situation. A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement doesn’t alter the love you have for your spouse.
