When you’re planning a wedding and dreaming of your future life together, the possibility of a divorce is far from your mind. However, as strong as your relationship may be now, you can never tell what the future may bring, which is why prenuptial agreements are so important. Not only can they help you avoid messy family law disputes later, but negotiating a prenup can actually strengthen your bond and lead to a happier marriage.

Why Prenuptial Agreements Are Vital

What Can Be Included in a Prenup

In the past, prenups were typically only used by upper-class families to protect their wealth. However, couples from all walks of life can benefit from using a prenuptial agreement to decide issues of property division, spousal support, and inheritance rights before getting married. You may even make provisions about how you’ll manage your finances together after tying the knot.

Resolving Potential Issues Now

If you and your spouse ever file for divorce, a prenuptial agreement provides certainty about how your property will be divided and other financial matters. Without one, you’ll likely have to negotiate a settlement with your spouse in the midst of the divorce, which can be extremely difficult when emotions are running high. This document can also help you avoid the stress and expense of courtroom litigation, allowing both of you to move on with your lives.

Building a Stronger Relationship
