Formalizing Your Marriage Intent

A prenuptial agreement, commonly referred to as a 'prenup,' operates akin to a contract. It provides soon-to-be-married couples a platform to articulate their intentions and delineate the division of assets ensuing from marriage or in case of annulment or divorce. This all-important document underscores each partner’s rights and obligations, terms of alimony, and the ownership of assets and liabilities. Entering a marriage represents a thrilling chapter, and safeguarding yourself and your assets doesn't lessen this joyous event.  Prenups simply offer a level of security and transparency for both parties.


While prenuptial agreements may still carry a stigma, they have become increasingly common among couples. Many people view them as a way to protect their assets and ensure financial stability in the event of a divorce. However, prenups can also serve other purposes such as clarifying expectations for each partner's role in managing finances or outlining responsibilities for any children from previous relationships.


One of the key benefits of a prenup is the ability to protect separate property. This includes assets that were acquired before marriage, inheritances, or gifts received during the relationship. By clearly stating these assets are not subject to division in case of a divorce, individuals can avoid potential conflicts over ownership.

What Should You Include in Your Prenup?

Just as every marriage is unique, so are all prenuptial agreements. Topics that may be addressed include obligations during the marriage, property selling or transferring rights, property distribution procedures after a separation, details on the spousal support arrangement, and issues relevant to life insurance benefits.  Some agreements may also discuss expectations for child support and custody arrangements in the event of a divorce.


The purpose of a prenuptial agreement is to provide clarity and protection for both parties, should the marriage end in separation or divorce. It is important to note that these agreements are legally binding contracts and can greatly impact the outcome of a divorce settlement. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals to carefully consider and openly discuss their needs and concerns before signing.


One common misconception about prenuptial agreements is that they are only necessary for wealthy individuals. However, this is not the case. Prenuptial agreements can benefit couples of all income levels, as they allow for customization based on each couple's unique circumstances.
