marital contracts

A marital contract, often called a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, is a legal document that couples create to outline how assets, debts, and responsibilities will be handled during the marriage and in the event of divorce or separation. It helps clarify financial expectations, protect individual property, and reduce potential disputes. These agreements are customizable and can cover issues like property division, spousal support, and inheritance. While not required, they provide a clear framework to address financial matters proactively, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations.
