4 Reasons Why You Might You might play around with the idea of getting a prenuptial agreement in the weeks leading up to your marriage. They may not be the most romantic thing you’ve ever contemplated, but prenuptial agreements could be the key to protecting yourself and your spouse in a divorce. There are a few different reasons why a couple should get a prenup. You have considerable assets. This is the classic reason people get prenups, but it’s wise, as high net-worth divorces are some of the most difficult and contentious to handle. With a prenup in place, there’s no question of what will happen to the property. It’s already settled, and you can move on to figuring out what will happen with the children, a provision you can’t put into prenuptial agreements. It’s your second marriage. Blending a family creates inheritance issues. If one of you passes, you might want to ensure your children get a specific property. Or you might want to ensure your spouse is taken care of and all your assets don’t go exclusively to your children. Whatever you want, it’s a good idea to have it in writing before the marriage. Again, this creates safety and security for you both. One or both of you plan on taking out student loans. Student loans are one of the biggest and most burdensome debts, second only to a mortgage. That debt can end up divided in a divorce, especially if one spouse works while the other goes to school. It can also end up divided if any loan money goes toward living expenses. If you want to make sure each of you walks away with only your student debt, no more and no less, a prenup is the way to do it. One or both of you own a business. Nobody wants their ex wrapped up running a business they built from the ground up, but that’s precisely what can happen in some divorces. The problem is so bad that many partnerships or shareholder agreements demand a prenup from everyone with an ownership share in the business.
