Prenuptial Agreement

More and more couples are signing prenuptial marriage agreements before they marry. These are not just couples dealing with financial inequality, or couples who have a lot of wealth. These are couples who want to put all their financial cards on the table before they walk down the aisle.

A prenuptial marriage agreement is a signed and notarized contract that spells out how a couple will handle the financial aspects of their marriage.

Laws vary between states in both how to draft them and in whether they will enforce such agreements. Using free services like LegalZoom can leave you unprotected. Improperly drafted documents may not me enforceable.
