Prenuptial Agreements

Often in anticipation of marriage, a couple may decide to enter into a prenuptial agreement which addresses how potential marital assets would be divided in the event the marriage should end in a divorce. The advantages to a prenuptial agreement are that if the marriage does come to an end, the parties need not go through what often can be a very emotionally and economically burdensome dispute over certain issues, and can instead move forward with a divorce with minimal friction and discourse. The most common situations where parties chose to enter into prenuptial agreements is where they have significantly different incomes or assets. Typically, where a disparity in incomes or assets is significant, the wealthier party will favor most by entering into a prenuptial agreement so as to protect his or her assets pre-divorce.
