Marital Property Agreements

Marital property agreements, often called prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, are legal contracts created by couples to outline how their assets and debts will be handled during their marriage and in case of divorce or separation. These agreements help clarify ownership of property, support obligations, and other financial matters, providing both partners with a sense of security and reducing potential conflicts. A prenuptial agreement is made before marriage, while a postnuptial agreement is created after the couple is already married. These agreements must be fair, voluntary, and clearly articulated to be enforceable in court.
