PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT LAWYER?
Do We Really Need One?

Whether or not you need a prenuptial agreement lawyer depends on many factors. How simple, or how complex will your agreement be? Are all persons involved in agreement with the plan? Will you be needing a professional to mediate or help negotiate? After all, a prenup is somewhat like a divorce - in advance!

If a couple has excellent communication and a good plan, a do-it-yourself prenup may work just fine for you. If not, go the safer route and hire a prenuptial agreement lawyer; or two.

Couples That Should Be Most Interested
In Prenuptial Agreements

  • Middle-aged couples with children from a prior marriage
  • Couples with substantial assets
  • Couples that may accumulate assets during their marriage
  • Couples with substantial liabilities
  • Couples that may accumulate liabilities
  • Couples giving up a job or "way of life" to marry
  • Couples who want peace of mind

Few couples marry thinking they will ever divorce, so why consider a prenuptial agreement lawyer? Statistically, one-half of these unsuspecting couples will end their marriage. While prenuptial agreements became popular in the 1980s, there's still a misconception that unless you're a jet-setting celebrity dealing with millions of dollars in assets, there's no need for such an agreement. All couples need to talk about money issues.


If you're afraid this subject will be too tough on you as a couple - you'd better take another look at your relationship! This is unlikely to be the toughest obstacle the two of you will face.


Once you jump the hurdle of broaching the idea, the next thing the two of you should do is to make a list of what you want to accomplish with your contract. Don't attempt to make it sound legal; just outline what you feel is important.

Consider The Following Points

  • In the event of a divorce, who will pay the bills?
  • How will assets be divided?
  • How much (if any) spousal support will be given, and for how long?
  • What will happen if one of us dies?
  • Are there any "extras" we want to include for our own mental comfort?

State laws vary. There's no sense in having a prenup if it doesn't hold water when needed. Save yourself by at least consulting a family law lawyer. Most offer a free initial consultation and that's hard to pass up.

No matter what you decide to do about your prenuptial agreement, don't forget that it's ultimately for your own and your future spouse's peace of mind -- and it should do nothing but good for your future together.
