What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, is a document that is prepared before a couple gets married. The prenup sets forth the rights and obligations of each party in the event of a divorce or dissolution of the marriage.

The most common reason for a prenuptial agreement is to protect a party's assets in the event of a divorce. A prenuptial agreement can also address other issues such as:

• Spousal support in the event of a divorce
• The division of property and debts in the event of a divorce
• The responsibility for children and child support in the event of a divorce

A prenuptial agreement is a contract that is entered into before the marriage. It can state what each party owns and owes and what each party's rights and obligations are in the event of a divorce or dissolution of the marriage.

Why Consider a Prenuptial Agreement

There are many reasons why a couple may choose to get a prenuptial agreement. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Protecting the assets of a party who earns a significantly higher income and does not want to be responsible for the other party if the marriage ends in divorce
• Protecting the inheritance of children or other family members
• Protecting the business interests of a party
• Protecting a party's military pension

A prenuptial agreement can be used to protect your financial interests in the event of a divorce.
