Information on Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal contracts that are signed before a marriage or during a divorce proceeding, essentially for the purpose of making financial decisions prior to marriage in the case of a divorce, or after a divorce is finalized. Prenuptial agreements articulate what property can be considered mutual property and what property remains separate, as well as declaring what any earnings made during the marriage will be considered. Prenuptial agreements may serve to protect a spouse who makes a much higher income than the other spouse. The purpose behind pre-nuptial agreements is to make these decisions before the marriage dissolves, so that emotions, resentment and revenge are not factors in the division of assets and properties. For more information, or to begin drafting a pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreement, contact a Denver divorce attorney from our firm today.

Postnuptial agreements are similar to prenuptial, but they may be drafted and signed during a marriage, not before. Besides information on what will happen in the case of a divorce, pre- and postnuptial agreements may have instructions and agreements for what will happen in the case of the death of a spouse. These agreements often will include provisions for any future or preexisting children from the marriage.
