How a Prenuptial Agreement Can Help You

A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract that lists the assets and debts each person has before the marriage. It establishes what each person’s property rights will be if the marriage ends in divorce or death. In Michigan, prenuptial agreements must be signed before the marriage. The agreement can address spousal support and property division, but not child custody or child support.

There must be full and fair disclosure of all debts and assets from each party when creating the agreement. If assets are not disclosed or the agreement is not prepared in a proper manner, it will not be enforceable.

Postnuptial agreements are not automatically enforceable. We can help guide you as to whether such an agreement is of benefit to you, in your particular situation. A one-size-fits-all approach is not a good idea because it will not meet your specific needs.
