Getting married is such a joyous event in people’s lives. No one wants to think about that marriage ending in divorce. The fact is that many engaged or married individuals have good reasons for a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement.
Post-nuptial and prenuptial agreements are particularly helpful if you have acquired significant assets. Additionally, if this is a second or third marriage, or if you have multiple children from a previous relationship.
How Does a Prenuptial Agreement Help?
A prenuptial agreement will streamline the division of property in the event that your marriage ends. For instance, by designating property that would otherwise be community property as separate property. In addition, outlining the division of community property.
How Does a Post-nuptial Agreement Help?
A post-nuptial agreement, or partition and exchange agreement, is entered into after you have been married. This is either as the result of some changed circumstance or in anticipation of divorce.
