What is a Postnuptial Agreement?
A postnuptial agreement is a contract that is entered into by a couple after they are married. This type of agreement is designed to address issues that may arise in the case of a divorce such as child custody, spousal support, division of property, and division of assets.
There are a number of factors that determine whether a postnuptial agreement will be upheld in court. Some of the most important factors include whether the agreement was entered into with full knowledge of the consequences and whether the parties were pressured or coerced into signing the agreement. If a postnuptial agreement is deemed valid and is upheld in court, it will be enforced just as a prenuptial agreement would be.
When Should You Consider a Postnuptial Agreement?
There are many situations in which you may want to consider a postnuptial agreement. If you are planning to get married, you may want to consider a prenuptial agreement. However, if you are already married, you may want to consider a postnuptial agreement. Some of the situations in which you may want to consider a postnuptial agreement include:
- If you and your spouse have accumulated significant assets since your marriage
- If you and your spouse have a large amount of debt
- If you are worried that your spouse will not uphold his or her financial obligations
- If you are worried that your spouse will not uphold his or her financial obligations
If you are concerned about any of the above issues, you may want to consider a postnuptial agreement. This type of agreement can protect your assets, especially if your spouse is the source of your income or if your spouse is the one who controls the finances.
