We all hope our marriages will stand the test of time. After all, you probably wouldn’t get married if you didn’t think your relationship was built to last.

When you need help drafting a prenup or postnup, look to the team at the Law Office of Kent L. Greenberg. We work with clients in Baltimore County, MD and the surrounding communities, helping them understand complex family law matters.

What Are Pre- And Postnuptial Agreements?

Many people come to us not knowing the difference between prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. More still don’t fully understand the details of entering into one of these agreements. Fortunately, our team has over 30 years of experience in family law, and we’ll ensure you get all the pertinent information on this complex topic. Here’s a brief overview of each agreement:

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a contract between couples who are gearing up to get married. This contract broadly ensures that each party will retain their own assets in the event of a divorce or separation. Prenups are the most common type of marital agreement and must be signed with the consent of both parties. They may include the following details:

• Full disclosure of assets owned prior to the marriage
• Alimony
• Guidelines for how joint property will be divided
• Allocation of other assets
• Allocation of debt responsibility
• Protocol for division of assets

Postnuptial Agreements

Postnuptial agreements are another option for couples and occur after the marriage. While these are less common, they’re still a good option for people who didn’t think of the legal implications of marriage beforehand. Postnuptial agreements cover many of the same points as prenuptial agreements. No matter which type of contract you and your partner prefer, the Law Office of Kent L. Greenberg is here to make the process as simple as possible.

Do I Need an Prenup?

Too often, couples assume they won’t need a prenup. They’re happy together and can’t foresee a future where there’s conflict. But our divorce lawyers know all too well that unresolvable issues can arise, resulting in separation. In almost every case, a prenuptial agreement is beneficial for both parties. If any of the following circumstances apply to you, we encourage considering a prenup:

• You own a business
• You have your own medical practice
• You anticipate a large inheritance
• You have expensive assets you’d like to protect
• You purchased your home while single
