How Is a Postnuptial Agreement Different from a Prenuptial Agreement?
Similar to a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement is a legally binding document which outlines a married couple’s responsibilities during their marriage, as well as how marital assets will be divided in the event of a death or divorce. You are able to protect your assets and finances, as well plan for any debts that accrue during the course of the marriage. However, unlike a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement is signed after the marriage has taken place—not before. A well-drafted postnuptial agreement can effectively protect your assets, property, and future.
These types of agreements can be used to address:
- Who gets the family pet in the event of a divorce
- What is each spouse’s interest in the marital home
- Who is the designated beneficiary of a life insurance policy
- Which spouse will pay spousal support (alimony) and for how long
- How marital asserts are to be divided and which spouse keeps certain property
- Which spouse is responsible for marital mortgages, loans, and credit card debts
- How property and assets are to be divided if one spouse passes away during the marriage
