Most people don’t enter marriage with the idea of getting divorced, but, unfortunately, many marriages end that way. The Law Office and Mediation Center of Jeannine M. Talbot, in Torrington, CT, discusses the benefits of a prenuptial agreement in case the marital relationship ends in court. Divorce lawyer Jeannine knows from more than 20 years of family law experience that these agreements are not just for the rich and famous.

Here’s how a prenuptial agreement benefits the spouses-to-be:

• Individual Property Protection: Drafting a prenuptial agreement protects real, personal, and intellectual property rights that each spouse owns before they marry. Couples who prepare a list of their assets for a pre-wedding agreement keep divorce lawyers from fighting about ownership rights later.
• Estate Plan Clarification: Prenuptial agreements make clear what premarital property spouses have the right to leave for their loved ones. Family law attorneys know this clarification is important in estate planning, as it protects the interests of children that one or both spouses may have from previous marriages or relationships.    
• Save Money & Time: Prenuptial agreements often state the amounts, percentages, or types of marital property that one or both spouses would receive if a divorce occurs. Resolving these issues before the wedding saves money on divorce lawyer fees, and the divorce proceeds more smoothly.
