Postnuptial Agreements
The prospect of creating a formal contract that dictates stipulations in the event of a divorce is never an easy thing to approach. For this reason, many people do not end up creating prenuptial agreements prior to getting married. It can also easily slip the mind amidst all the wedding preparations that must be made. Or perhaps certain issues arise after a marriage that make one or both parties wish they had created a prenup.
The good news for anyone worried that they missed the boat is that it is not too late. There is something called a postnuptial agreement which is very similar to a prenuptial agreement but can be entered into after marriage. If you are interested in discovering more about postnuptial agreements, contact the Spring and Conroe divorce attorneys at Garg & Associates, P.C. at 281-362-2865.
What Postnuptial Agreements Include
Most states recognize postnuptial agreements and the creation of one is fairly easy. You simply need a good family attorney to write up the agreement. Issues you may wish to include in the agreement include:
- The specific division of property both communal and non-communal
- Alimony or spousal support–the agreement can dictate the exact amount as well as the length of time it will continue for
- Conditions of guardianship
- Forfeiture of assets in the case of certain acts such as adultery
