Prenuptial agreements may sound like a harsh tactic when you’re thinking about getting married and starting a life with your significant other. However, in the event of a divorce, a prenuptial contract can protect you and your assets. When you are single and dating, you’re assets are yours and your significant other’s assets are theirs. However, marriage combines those assets. They are no longer yours and theirs. They are “ours,” and any money, income or assets you acquire during the marriage are also “ours.”
In the event of a divorce, those assets are typically divided 50/50 between the spouses, and while some details can be worked out in the court room, others are predetermined by various laws regarding property division. A prenuptial contract can take the place of those laws by predetermining who gets what in the event of a divorce. Prenuptial contracts can also specify the reasons a divorce can occur such as cheating, lying and stealing.
Prenuptial agreements can offer peace of mind because you know what you get and don’t get in the event of a divorce. They can also protect against future liability and payments. In other words, a prenuptial contract can ensure that you don’t lose your house and all your property, retirement accounts and other income sources in the event of a divorce.
