Both premarital and postnuptial arrangements dictate the process by which financial debts, obligations, and assets are split in case of a divorce. Most family law professionals say that marriage agreements such as prenups are on the rise. This is because as people are marrying older, more and more are seeing the wisdom in clarifying the division of assets, rather than leaving it up to the arbitrary rulings of the court.

Whether you are already married, or thinking about getting married, it’s important to seek the advice of a qualified attorney to ensure that your marital agreement is valid and enforceable.
