Understanding Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement is a legally binding contract that is entered into by a couple before they get married. The agreement outlines how certain matters will be handled in the event of a divorce. Prenuptial agreements are not only for the wealthy. They can be beneficial for anyone who wants to protect their interests and avoid a potentially contentious divorce.
Some of the matters that can be addressed in a prenuptial agreement include:
- How property will be divided in the event of a divorce
- Whether or not spousal support will be paid
- How debts will be divided
- How assets will be divided
- How property will be distributed in the event of a death
It is important to note that a prenuptial agreement cannot address child custody or child support. These matters will be determined by the court based on the best interests of the child at the time of the divorce.
