You Need Prenuptial Agreements Because A Marriage Is A Legal Contract

Many couples mistakenly believe that having a Prenuptial Agreement shows your spouse that you expect your marriage to fail. So it’s often a difficult topic for couples to address. But marriage is more than a commitment of love between two people. Marriage is a significant legal commitment. Spouses must understand their legal responsibilities and obligations to protect:

• themselves;
• their assets; and
• also, their futures.

Our experience working with couples regarding Prenuptial Agreements enables us to present the concept and advantages

• in a positive light; and
• very importantly, without compromising your positive expectations entering into the marriage.

Our Prenuptial Agreements Attorneys will explain what protections would be right for your family.

Do I Need a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?

Almost everyone who enters into a marriage should consult with a Prenuptial Agreements Attorney (or Prenup Attorney) to protect themselves and their family in the event of a divorce. Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreements may be especially important when one spouse has:

• significant assets;
• a business;
• personal debts; or
• children.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements address Division of Property if a married couple files for divorce.

The Differences Between Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial Agreements are made before marriage to determine:

• the Division of Assets;
• Child Custody; and
• resolve other issues in the event of a Divorce.

Without this type of agreement, the court will use the PA State Laws to determine:

• Division of Assets;
• Alimony;
• Child Custody; and
• lastly, Child Support.

Work with our Prenuptial Agreements Attorneys to negotiate and sign a Prenup Agreement. Prenuptial Agreements ensure that, if the marriage doesn’t work out, the dissolution of the marriage happens on the couple’s terms and protects both parties. You make Postnuptial Agreements after you’re married that also decide:

• Child Custody;
• Division of Assets; and
• resolve other issues of a Divorce.

Obviously, Postnuptial Agreements are more complicated. Both partners will have to have their own Postnuptial Agreement Attorney.

The Appropriate Time for a Postnuptial Agreement

Postnuptial Agreements can be very beneficial if :

• you don’t have a Prenuptial Agreement; or
• your situation has changed during your marriage. For example
  • you start a business together;
  • one or both partners gain considerable assets or property;
  • they have a child after getting married; or
  • one spouse has been unfaithful. In this case, the Postnuptial Agreement shows the unfaithful spouse is serious about working on the relationship.

Postnuptial Agreements address more complicated financial situations than Prenuptial Agreements. It’s necessary to consult with our expert Postnuptial Agreements Attorneys to protect your interests.
