The Purpose Of Premarital Agreements
Prenuptial agreements (or premarital agreements) offer clarity and a means of protecting individual financial interests. Addressing these matters before marriage could prevent economic problems and disagreements from disrupting your marital contentment.
A prenup can also facilitate a smoother divorce process if your marriage does not work out. The terms in your agreement can serve as the foundation for property division and alimony.
Other possible advantages:
- Protects each spouse’s defined separate property amid divorce
- Defines each spouse’s financial obligations during marriage
- Minimizes disputes and misunderstandings in divorce proceedings
Addressing these issues upfront may provide more security during marriage and a smoother transition should there be a divorce.
Post-Marital Agreements – An Alternative To Prenups
A postnuptial or post-marital agreement serves a similar purpose to a prenup but is created after marriage. Couples create a postnup for various reasons, such as:
- To address new financial situations that arise after marriage
- To shield their business assets and interests
- To provide clear financial guidelines for use during marriage
Some couples planning to divorce create postnuptial agreements before filing to help simplify legal proceedings.
The Role Of A Lawyer
Creating a legally sound prenuptial or postnuptial agreement requires experienced attorneys. They can:
- Guide you through legal requirements
- Draft the document according to Tennessee law
- Help you negotiate equitable terms
Attorney guidance can also make certain the agreement protects – not compromises – your legal rights.
