Prenuptial Agreements

 

Prenuptial agreements are legal documents that are made in contemplation of marriage and that become effective upon marriage. Prenuptial Agreements may outline what property belongs to each individual spouse before and during marriage, as well as how all property should be divided in the event of a future divorce.  Prenuptial agreements establish, in advance of marriage, how property will be treated or divided at the time of a divorce or death.

 

There are many different types of prenups.  Some do away with community property entirely and replace it with another plan.  Prenuptial agreements allow spouses to "opt out" of most or all community property rights prescribed under the law.  Other agreements confirm what the parties have coming into the marriage and allow for sharing of income earned during marriage.   

 

A prenuptial agreement can provide a financial plan for the marriage and help avoid financial disputes and struggles which are often cited as the number one reason couples split.
