Prenuptial agreements are generally looked upon
negatively. They are believed to be for people with exceptional amounts
of money or when someone believes their marriage is likely to end in
divorce - this is simply not true.
A prenuptial agreement is a contract between two willing
parties who are interested in protecting their interests after
marriage. A prenuptial agreement starts with an open discussion between
two people who are interested in moving into a successful marriage and
are not planning for divorce, but rather, are having an honest
conversation about what happens if something goes wrong.
A prenuptial agreement allows a marrying couple to
clarify what will happen to their personal and financial items in the
event of divorce. Having these decisions about personal property decided
ahead of time may potentially avoid a delayed and expensive divorce
later.
For those who did not enter into a prenuptial agreement,
a postnuptial agreement between married couples can serve the same
purpose.
