Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Contrary to popular belief, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are not about dividing assets or planning for the worst. The real benefit to arranging one is to discuss and plan while you are still in love. It starts a path of upfront, honest communication between two people.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can address things like debt from college, credit cards or child support and whose income will be used to pay for it.
