Are you recently engaged? Congratulations on this exciting new journey! If you’re considering a prenuptial agreement as part of your wedding planning, Mullins Law can help you take the next step of your life with ease.

Prenuptial agreements or “prenups” are implemented to protect a spouse’s assets that are brought into a marriage. Prenups can also be useful for extensive assets as well such as children from previous marriages or ownership in a family business.

While most prenups are drafted to protect assets, they can also be used to illustrate how the finances, debt, and other matters will be handled throughout the marriage. Drawing up agreements beforehand can save you a lot of time and energy in the long run. It’s better to be over-prepared rather than not prepared at all.

Prenuptial agreements can also be used for the following issues:

• division of joint properties
• alimony and spousal support
• provisions on raising common children
• conditions that make this agreement invalid
• who is responsible for paying outstanding debts
• ability to pursue educational goals and career opportunities
• which property becomes joint and which remains a personal asset after the wedding

Ensure the safety of your assets with our prenuptial attorneys. Prenups are about protecting what’s important to you, and what’s important to you is important to us.
