Common Queries about Premarital or Prenuptial Agreement

Here are common queries about Premarital or Prenuptial Agreements:

A prenuptial agreement (prenup) is a legal contract between two people before marriage that outlines financial rights and asset distribution in case of divorce or death. People get prenups to protect personal assets, define financial responsibilities, and prevent future legal disputes.

Yes! A prenuptial agreement can be modified after marriage through a postnuptial agreement, but both partners must agree to the changes, and the update must meet legal standards.

Not necessarily! A prenup is a financial planning tool that provides clarity and protection for both spouses. Many couples use it to strengthen their financial understanding and reduce potential conflicts in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Without a prenup, state laws will determine how assets, debts, and spousal support are handled in case of divorce. This could mean equal asset division (community property states) or fair but unequal division (equitable distribution states), which might not align with a couple's personal preferences.

Yes! Some prenuptial agreements include a "sunset clause," which means the agreement expires after a certain number of years. If a couple stays married beyond that period, the prenup becomes invalid unless renewed. This allows for adjustments as circumstances change over time.

No ❌. Child custody and child support decisions are made by the court based on the best interests of the child at the time of divorce. A prenup cannot override these decisions.
