Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement, also termed an antenuptial agreement, is a legal document that helps couples safeguard their finances should the relationship come to an end. A prenuptial agreement can help to ensure that any assets, finances, and liabilities are protected for both parties.
With a prenuptial agreement, couples are able to protect their existing assets and liabilities from being divided in the event of a divorce or death. This means that each partner can keep what is rightfully theirs should the marriage end in separation, divorce, or dissolution. Prenuptial agreements also provide clarity about financial arrangements during the marriage, settling any possible disputes before they arise.

Is a prenuptial agreement legally binding?
Yes. A properly drafted prenuptial agreement is a legally binding document that both parties must sign for it to become valid. In addition, the contract must meet all state and local laws in order to be enforceable. A prenuptial agreement can outline any financial arrangements or assets that couples wish to keep separate, such as inheritances, businesses, investments, and debts. It can also help protect each partner’s income and establish rights for the division of marital property should the marriage end.
Once a prenuptial agreement has been signed and notarized, it is legally binding and cannot be changed without both parties agreeing to the revisions. If you feel like changes need to be made after signing the agreement, you should consult with an experienced family law attorney at Dooley Gembala.
