Prenuptial Agreements
The purpose of prenuptial agreements is to delineate, in contemplation of marriage, how spouses would treat property, support, and other matters if their marriage were to later be dissolved. If you are preparing to marry and are concerned about protecting your assets in the event marital discord were to arise in the future, consider whether a prenuptial agreement is appropriate in your relationship. For some, it may be best to outline during happy times what each spouse’s rights would be if unhappy differences arise down the road. Planning in this regard provides a degree of certainty to both spouses from the outset of their marital relationship.
