The Importance of a Prenuptial Agreement
No one wants to believe that a marriage will not work out. From the proposal to the engagement party to the marriage, it can be difficult to recognize this time in a couple’s life as anything less than a fairy tale of love and wonder.
But the reality of the situation can be easily explained by one statistic. About fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. This does not mean that there is not reason to believe in your marriage, it just means that is important to be prepared in the event that it does not work out. Part of this preparation for the worst case scenario is creating a pre-nuptial agreement.
What is a Prenuptial Agreement?
Pre-nups can make life endlessly easier for both parties involved in a divorce. Divorces often result in constant and unrelenting fighting over mutual assets. Although a divorce is never a fun thing, a pre-nuptial agreement can help make this already procedure go much smoother.
A prenuptial agreement can have a number of stipulations that come into play in the event of divorce. It can address:
- The division of property: This may include both communal and non-communal property
- Spousal support: The amount and length of time it will be provided are often detailed
- Forfeiture of assets upon certain acts such as adultery
- Conditions of guardianship
