When should you consider a prenuptial agreement?

​

     1.     If you have greater income and assets than your future spouse and you wish to protect the property that you are bringing into the marriage.

​

     2.    Your future spouse has significant debt and you wish to ensure that you will not be responsible for the debt he or she brings into the marriage.

​

     3.    You were previously married and you wish to protect your children from a previous marriage and/or other family members that you wish to support.

​

     4.    If you own a business, and especially if you co-own a business with others, you may wish to protect the business in the event the marriage ends.

​

     5.    If you decide to leave the workforce to raise children, your long-term ability to earn money may be negatively impacted.  A prenuptial agreement can ensure that you are financially protected in the event the marriage ends.

​

     6.    To protect your estate plan, otherwise your spouse may make a claim against the estate.
