What is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement, often referred to simply as a "postnup," is a legal contract created by a married couple after they've already tied the knot. Like a prenuptial agreement crafted before marriage, a postnup outlines the division of assets and liabilities in case of a separation, divorce, or other significant life changes. These agreements can address various financial matters, allowing couples to determine their futures on their terms.

What Does a Postnuptial Agreement Cover?

Postnuptial agreements can cover a variety of financial and property-related topics. While the specifics may vary depending on the couple's circumstances, some common areas that can be addressed in a postnup include:

• Asset Division: Clearly defining how assets such as real estate, investments, business interests, and personal property will be divided in the event of divorce or separation.
• Debt Responsibility: Outlining how existing debts and future financial obligations will be allocated between spouses.
• Alimony and Spousal Support: Specifying the amount and duration of spousal support payments in case of divorce can offer clarity and reduce potential disputes.
• Inheritance Rights: Determining how inheritance and potential future inheritances will be handled within the marriage and upon its dissolution.
• Financial Management: Detailing financial responsibilities, budgeting, and saving strategies during the marriage.
• Business Ownership: Addressing the treatment of shared business interests, protecting the business from conflicts arising from marital issues.
• Custody and Support: While postnups typically don't cover child custody arrangements, they can include provisions related to child support, college tuition, and other child-related expenses.
