Why Do I Need a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement Attorney?
Whether you are planning for marriage or want to restructure your financial arrangements during your marriage, having a well-drafted agreement can help protect your individual assets and responsibilities. A prenuptial agreement can help you safeguard your financial future before marriage, while a postnuptial agreement can provide similar protections after the wedding.
For many couples, these agreements act as a safeguard, preventing future disputes and offering clarity in the rare event of a divorce. Without an agreement in place, the division of assets and alimony obligations can be complicated, and in some cases, lead to lengthy and costly legal battles.
Whether you are considering a prenuptial agreement before your wedding or a postnuptial agreement after marriage, securing legal counsel ensures that your agreement will be valid, enforceable, and designed to protect both parties’ interests.

Your Atlanta, Georgia Family Law Attorney Explains Pre/Post-Nuptial Agreements
Prenuptial Agreements: Protection Before Marriage
A prenuptial agreement is a legal document signed before a marriage takes place. This agreement outlines how assets and financial responsibilities will be handled in the event of divorce or separation. While prenuptial agreements are often associated with protecting wealthier individuals, they benefit couples of all financial backgrounds. They can protect your personal assets, preserve family heirlooms, and ensure that any children from previous relationships are financially secure.
What Does a Prenuptial Agreement Cover?
A prenuptial agreement typically includes the following:
- Property Division: Clarifies which assets are considered separate and which will be treated as marital property.
Spousal Support (Alimony): Defines obligations for spousal support in the event of divorce. - Protection of Family Heirlooms: Safeguards specific assets that have sentimental or historical value.
- Protection for Children: Ensures that children from prior marriages or relationships are financially supported.
It is important to note that prenuptial agreements cannot address matters of child custody or child support; these issues must be determined separately during a divorce proceeding.
Prenuptial Agreement Process:
- Financial Disclosure: Each party must disclose their financial assets and liabilities, as well as income.
- Asset Allocation: Couples must decide which assets will remain separate and which will be considered marital property.
- Alimony Obligation: Couples may decide to address the determination of alimony as part of the prenuptial agreement process, such as deciding that neither party will receive any alimony, providing an amount and formula based on the length of the marriage at the time of a divorce, or agreeing to address it at the time of a divorce either through the court or first attempting to resolve it via mediation.
- Legal Signing: Once both parties have agreed to the terms, the document is signed in front of witnesses and a notary public to ensure its legality.
Enforceability of Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements must meet certain legal requirements to be enforceable. If there was not a full financial disclosure, then the court may deem the agreement invalid. At Rubin Family Law, we ensure that every agreement we create is drafted with fairness in mind and is clear, transparent, and free of clauses that could potentially be challenged.
Key Elements for Enforceability:
- Both parties must freely voluntarily agree to the terms.
- Full financial disclosure is necessary.
- The agreement should be signed well in advance of any potential divorce.
- Both parties must have an opportunity to consult with a lawyer, even if that means delaying the wedding.
