Components of a Prenuptial Agreement

When a couple gets engaged, they are often very caught up in the excitement of marriage, wedding planning, and beginning their life together. One of the important factors that shouldn’t be overlooked when a couple is headed towards marriage is a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements have unfortunate stigmas attached to them that should really be looked past, as these agreements can allow the couple to focus on their future. There are a few important components of prenuptial agreements that should be considered:

  • The division of assets
  • Spousal maintenance
  • Inheritance of assets

Some of the factors that are not permitted to be included in a prenuptial agreement include matters related to any current or future children that the couple may have together such as child support, child custody, and visitation.

It is important to make sure that when creating a prenuptial agreement, it is valid. In order for a prenuptial agreement to be valid, the couple has to make sure that it is in writing, it has full financial disclosure of both future spouses, that it is executed before the marriage occurs, that it is fair and just to both future spouses, that it is voluntarily signed by both parties, and that it is notarized.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I hired Susan to represent me in a divorce matter where I was fighting for custody and to limit my wife's equitable share of our assets. I won custody of our son, kept the marital residence, kept my professional practice, kept my building and paid less than half to my wife. This was after a long-term marriage. She could persuade the court that equitable is not equal and sometimes the man does deserve to win!

I first must say that I had been represented by two prior attorneys both of whom had simply taken my money and left me nothing to show for it in my custody case. They kept telling me what they were doing for me but I found out they were lying. Susan on the other hand had gotten me temporary custody and support for my children and myself within two months of hiring her. I cannot say enough about her.

‐ Craig

After talking to a few other attorneys, I hired Susan to represent me in my divorce and custody dispute. I was reluctant to go with her because she was the cheapest out of all the other attorneys I met with, but I'm so glad I did. I am 100% positive no one else would have done such a great job with my case as Susan and her staff. Her work is quality, her staff is reliable and her character is honorable. There...

‐ Linda

I had a very difficult case where I had already burned through two attorneys who were unable to get me custody of my children and complete my divorce. Susan was able to rapidly work out an agreement and not let it just malinger on like my previous experiences. She was also considerate of my financial situation unlike all of the other lawyers I had spoken to. I highly recommend her if you want complete and caring service with an in-depth knowledge of...
