Marietta Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreement Attorneys

 

Prenuptial Agreements

 

Prenuptial agreements are agreements formed between two people prior to marriage that set out the manner in which assets would be divided in the event of a divorce. Prenuptial agreements are created before marriage, but should not be done “in contemplation of divorce.” Because of this, a prenuptial agreement must be worded properly. There must be full disclosure of assets, and there must be consideration on both sides. Without consideration (benefit to both parties), a prenuptial agreement will often be held to be invalid.

​

Postnuptial Agreements

​

Like prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements control how property will be divided in the event of a divorce. Postnuptial agreements are created after marriage, but should not be done “in contemplation of divorce.” Because of this, a postnuptial agreement must be worded properly. There must be full disclosure of assets, and there must be consideration on both sides. Without consideration (benefit to both parties), a postnuptial agreement will often be held to be invalid.
