Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a contract between the parties, executed prior to the marriage, that determines what happens financially during the course of the marriage, in the event of a dissolution of marriage, or in other agreed upon circumstances. A postnuptial agreement is a contract between the parties, executed during the marriage, that addresses what will happen financially during the course of the marriage, in the event of a dissolution of the marriage, or in other agreed upon circumstances.

Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements can be complex and often address the division of property, the value of which is yet to be determined. It is important to work with an attorney who understands the various financial and legal implications of your agreement and will help you and your spouse draft an agreement that reflects your goals.
