What Does a Prenuptial Agreement Do?
Typically, a prenuptial agreement customizes the arrangement of your marriage. The prenuptial agreement lays out provisions for the following in the event of a divorce or death of either spouse:
- Restricts assets owned by a party prior to marriage to that person
- Designates the payment and division of debts
- Gives you the ability to establish a plan for payment of joint expenses during marriage
- Helps alleviate any fear the couple’s parents or children have that a new spouse is trying to take advantage of a spouse’s property and assets
- Set up spousal and child support
- Predesignate child custody
