What is a Premarital Agreement? Is it for me?
A premarital agreement is sometimes called a prenuptial or antenuptial
agreement. It is a document prepared by a person before they marry which
spells out their intentions regarding their assets if they should divorce or
pass away. A premarital agreement can be used in conjunction with a Last
Will & Testament or other form of estate planning tool.
Premarital agreements are valid in all states, but with some restrictions.
For example, it cannot be prepared making binding provisions about child
support or alimony if the couple should divorce. Many states feel including
provisions such as these tends to promote or encourage divorce, plus the
fact that they would not be in the best interest of the child or spouse.
