What is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement, also known as a "postnup," is considered a legally binding contract entered into by married couples after the wedding ceremony. While prenuptial agreements are signed before marriage, postnuptial agreements are crafted and executed during a marriage. The primary purpose of a postnuptial agreement is to outline the distribution of assets, debts, and other financial issues in the event of a divorce or separation. This legal document serves as a safeguard for both spouses, offering clarity and protection in case the marriage does not endure.

What Does a Postnuptial Agreement Cover?

Postnuptial agreements are versatile and can be customized to suit each couple's unique circumstances. Some common areas covered by postnuptial agreements include:

• Asset Division: Determining how marital property and assets will be divided in the possibility of divorce or separation.
• Debt Allocation: Specifying how shared debts, such as mortgages and loans, will be apportioned.
• Spousal Support: Outline the terms for alimony or spousal support payments, if applicable.
• Business Interests: Addressing the management, division, or sale of jointly owned businesses.
• Inheritance and Estate Planning: Defining how inheritances will be handled within the marriage and after a divorce.
• Custody and Child Support: While postnuptial agreements cannot decide on child custody or support, they can outline how such matters will be addressed during a divorce.
• Retirement and Investments: Allocating retirement accounts and investments in a manner that reflects the couple's intentions.
• Dispute Resolution: Specifying how disagreements or disputes related to the agreement will be resolved, such as through mediation or arbitration.
• Other Specific Agreements: Tailoring the postnuptial agreement to cover any other unique aspects or considerations that are important to the couple.
