A prenuptial agreement does not mean that your marriage is not going to last. This type of legal document simply protects your separate property. If you have a great deal of assets, or even a few, it may be worthwhile to explore the use of a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements are frequently used to protect children from a first marriage, ensuring they are not cut off from any inheritance. They are also useful if you have specific property you want bequeathed to a specific person, such as a set of china or jewelry to a child from your first marriage. An attorney at our office can explain how separate property is determined and what may be considered marital (or community) property of the marriage.

Sometimes casually known as a prenup, a prenuptial agreement is essentially a contract that establishes protection for an individual's separate assets when entering into a marriage. This legally binding document protects your assets and ensures that they remain outside the scope of the marital property division in the event of a separation or divorce. It is important to discuss a prenuptial agreement well in advance of the wedding date to ensure ample time for drafting, review, and negotiation.
