Prenuptial Agreements

Many marriages end in divorce. This means that it is wise to take steps to protect yourself and your assets in case your marriage should end. A prenuptial agreement is simply a contract that helps define what happens should your marriage dissolve. When you get married, you already have a prenuptial agreement in the sense that the government sets out your legal rights. When you have a lawyer write an agreement for you, you are simply taking greater control over what happens by setting out mutual understandings and expectations.
