Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Nuptial Agreements

Do prenuptial agreements hold up in court?
This is usually a shortcut to a prenuptial agreement that does not hold up under the scrutiny of the court. Prenuptial agreements generally apply to financial matters, not solely personal matters. It is usually wise to protect yourself and your spouse with a prenuptial agreement that strengthens your marriage.
Does a prenup protect future assets?
First, a prenuptial agreement can protect future earnings. A little advance planning and a well-drafted prenuptial agreement can allow the spouse to keep the asset as his or her separate property in the event of a divorce. While future earnings can be protected, so can future debts be avoided.
How long before a wedding should a prenup be signed?
This can be avoided if the agreement is signed at least one to three months before the wedding date. The spouse-to-be should be given enough time to deliberate on the provisions of the agreement before signing it.
