How To Know If a Prenuptial Agreement is Right For You


It is important to realize that prenuptial agreements can give some couples peace of mind. While no one wants to think about getting a divorce BEFORE they have even got married yet if it does happen a prenuptial agreement can assure that neither of you are taken advantage of financially and that whatever you agreed upon ahead of time stays intact. Some couples may address the following in their prenuptial agreements:

  • Whether or not one might put through college by the other
  • How credit card charges may be handled
  • If you are going to have joint or separate property
  • How your retirement benefits will work
  • Who pays which household bill and how will they go about doing so
  • Whether or not you will have to cover the other person's debts
  • How you will each set aside money for savings

...etc. The point here is that this can be an agreement of YOUR choosing and not all prenuptial agreements have to be the same. Again, prenuptial agreements are not for everyone and if you one of you feels uncomfortable about the subject, then it may not be the best thing for your marriage. The important thing is just to talk about it if one of you feels like it is something worth bringing up.
