We work with both husbands and wives and take care to fully protect our clients’ interests.

When Postnuptial Agreements Are Used

In the hustle to plan a wedding and prepare for a marriage, sometimes getting a prenuptial agreement ironed out falls by the wayside. A postnuptial agreement can be your second bite at that apple. Even if you have a premarital agreement in place, a postnuptial agreement may be advisable under certain circumstances. Spouses may seek to bring additional clarity to their financial obligations if, for example:

• One or both spouses start or invest in a business
• One spouse would like to make a risky financial investment
• One spouse inherits a large sum of money
• One spouse purchases an asset that has sentimental value
• One spouse has children or grandchildren from a previous relationship

Many married couples also choose to enter into a postnuptial agreements during times of marital distress to “level the playing field” while working on the marriage.
