What Can Be Included in a Prenup?
Prenuptial agreements can include a variety of protections and terms, even beyond a spouse's assets.
Some of the things that couples typically include in a prenup can include:
- How marital property and assets will be divided
- What happens if one spouse accumulates debt during the marriage
- Protection for family businesses and future inheritances
- Responsibilities of each spouse, such as management of bills, spending, and other duties
- Alimony/Spousal support obligations
What Cannot Be Included?
There are limitations to what can be included in a prenuptial agreement, especially when it comes to a child's support and any illegal acts.
A prenuptial agreement cannot include terms for:
-
Child custody, visitation, and child support agreements
-
Illegal actions
-
Extremely unfair and exploitative terms
-
Non-financial stipulations, such as appearance, weight gain, clothing, etc.
Including such terms can invalidate a prenup, which can hurt your standing in a divorce case.
Benefits of a Premarital Agreement
The term "prenuptial agreement" often carries a negative connotation. In reality, prenuptial agreements can actually improve your relationship – not harm it.
- A prenuptial agreement is only used in the event of a divorce. It does not mean that the couple intends to file for divorce.
- An agreement can keep your assets from falling into the wrong hands if the marriage fails.
- Talking about finances before marriage can actually improve trust in your relationship.
