Sometimes known as post-nuptial agreements, an antenuptial agreement is entered into after a couple gets married. Though no two antenuptial agreement is the same, many of them cover the following aspects of a new couple’s legal interests.

Division of property in the event of a divorce or death

Though typically a couple will retain the property that they came into the marriage with, any property that is acquired by the couple during the marriage must be divided, either between the couple in the event of a divorce, or given to the heirs or the surviving spouse in the event of a death.

Spousal support

This is most often discussed in the event of a divorce. When a couple decides to end their marriage, provisions of spousal support must be made so that the spouse who makes less money isn’t put in a position of financial distress, while also making sure that the spouse who is the primary breadwinner isn’t taken advantage of.
