Antenuptial Agreement

In family law and divorce cases, an antenuptial agreement is any written agreement made between spouses before marriage. These comprehensive agreements outline each party's assets, debts, and other financial properties owned separately. In addition, a process for determining ownership of future income, inherited assets, and debts at the event of the end of a marriage occurs. Most often, this form of agreement is made by individuals having high net worth or links to potential high net worth inheritances, as well as those individuals with children.
