Understanding Prenups & Postnups

Prenuptial agreements, often called "prenups," are contracts that couples enter into before marriage to determine asset division in the event of divorce or the death of a spouse. Postnuptial agreements are similar contracts entered into after marriage, establishing asset division in case of divorce or death.

Our skilled Hinsdale prenup attorneys specialize in negotiating and drafting these agreements. We will assist you in creating a fair and mutually agreeable agreement that protects both you and your spouse.

Prenups, Not Just for Celebs: Five Reasons to Consider One Now

Prenuptial agreements are not solely for celebrities. They can benefit engaged couples from all walks of life. Here are five common reasons to consider a prenup:

Reason 1: You Have Important Separate Property

Protect your valued or sentimental separate property from division during divorce. Clearly establish what property remains separate and safeguard income earned during marriage by keeping it in individually owned accounts.

Reason 2: Your Spouse Has Severe Debt

Ensure that your spouse's pre-marital debts remain separate and do not become your responsibility in the event of divorce. Shield yourself from potential financial burdens resulting from your spouse's reckless spending.

Reason 3: You Have or Want to Have Children

Although child custody and support cannot be predetermined, a prenuptial agreement can protect assets you want to ensure are inherited by your children. You can also establish property agreements with your spouse for your child's future benefit.

Reason 4: Your Pets Are Like Your Children

If you cherish your pets and want to retain ownership in case of divorce, include provisions in your prenup for their custody and support. Secure their well-being and your peace of mind.

Reason 5: You Want Less Stress

A prenuptial agreement can reduce stress during marriage by pre-determining many aspects of divorce. This clarity can minimize arguments and alleviate worries about potential losses, promoting a healthier and happier relationship.
