What is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A Postnuptial Agreement is a legal contract created after marriage that establishes financial arrangements, property division, and spousal support terms for married couples who want to clarify their rights and obligations during marriage. Essential for couples experiencing financial changes, business ownership, inheritance, career transitions, or relationship challenges, this agreement helps prevent conflicts and provides clarity for future decision-making. The document typically covers separate property designations, marital property division, debt responsibilities, spousal support arrangements, and modification procedures. Critical for married couples who need to address changing financial circumstances, protect individual assets, establish fair support terms, and create legal framework for financial decision-making while maintaining their marriage and protecting both parties' interests in changing life situations.
