Prenuptial Agreement Protection
It is incorrect to assume that the only time a prenuptial agreement is necessary is when spouses enter a marriage with largely disproportionate amounts of assets and income. These agreements are put into place to protect both parties. Technically speaking, a marriage is a form of financial arrangement. It is smart and responsible to have a plan in place if that arrangement ceases to exist. The prenuptial, or prenup, provides clear responsibilities to each spouse in the event of a divorce, and can even provide protect the final wishes of a spouse if he or she dies without first executing a valid will.
The Contents of Prenuptial Agreements
These agreements can cover a wide variety of factors, depending upon the wishes of the couple. The agreements can provide guidelines pertaining to:
- The division of property, assets, and liabilities
- Spousal Support
- Child Custody
- Child Support
- Specific terms to be carried out in the event one spouse were to commit adultery
- Along with many other stipulations
