pre- and postnuptial agreements the
difference only being timing you know
pre is before the marriage and post is
after I generally recommend it in a
situation where there may be a a large
disparity in Financial Resources between
the
spouses or in a situation where perhaps
you have a second or third marriage and
you have children from prior
relationships it makes sense to have
these kinds of Arrangements these kinds
of agreements and keeping in mind the
Agreements are twofold they serve not
just the purpose of what happens in the
event of divorce but it also serves what
happens in the event of death so these
Agreements are a divorce planning tool
and an estate planning tool not
everybody knows that or is really
cognizant of that they think of
prenuptual as something negative but
it’s really not it’s having
that difficult and necessary
conversation about the future before the
conflict happens before the event
happens you know you’re far better off
trying to work out circumstances and
terms for a divorce when you’re getting
along When what when the two two spouses
get along well together as opposed to
waiting until you’re in the heat of a
divorce and so I recommend it for anyone
um even even postm marriage to consider
this kind of vehicle so that when the
time comes they’re prepared and I find
that the postnuptial agreements in
particular are very helpful to clients
who may be considering divorce this is
actually a vehicle where they go through
this exercise of well all right if we
actually go through with it what will it
look like sometimes that saves the
marriage but if it doesn’t then it’s
already worked out and it’s a
uncontested divorce course
