Postnuptial Agreements
Legal Aid to Navigate a Postnuptial Agreement
A postnuptial agreement works much in the same way as a prenuptial agreement, but is crafted after a couple has entered into marriage. It is a legally binding agreement that outlines how your and your spouse’s marital assets will be divided in the event that you need to turn to divorce. Couples who have difficulty discussing or entering into a prenuptial agreement before the big day may benefit from a postnuptial agreement to consider the protection of their financial assets.
A postnuptial agreement also varies from a prenuptial agreement because most states allow for the parties to use the same legal representation (whereas prenuptial usually requires individual counsel for both parties). Courts may still scrutinize the fairness of the agreement, which is why it’s best to seek aid from a postnuptial agreement attorney.
