Denver Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer
Drafting a Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is a written contract between the parties that predetermines what will happen financially should their marriage or civil union end. There are many reasons why a couple entering into marriage or a civil union should have a prenuptial agreement, such as:
- You are getting married or entering a partnership later in life
- This is a second marriage with children involved
- You own a home or businesses
- You have a lot of debts
- You earn more than your partner
The overwhelmingly high divorce rate in this country is another reason why everyone should have a prenuptial agreement. Why not decide how matters should be resolved fairly when you are most in love and committed to one another, instead of waiting until anger or the tragedies of life arise? Why not discuss what will be marital assets and debts b efore you commit to one another? Why not plan out and thoroughly discuss your financial future before it becomes the reality? A prenuptial a greement isn't giving you an out or preparing for the worst, as some cynics would say, it is marital insurance. It is an instrument for a discussion of the better and the worse; a proactive approach to a happy and stable partnership or marriage.

About Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements are becoming more popular as people are waiting a little later in life to marry or are getting married a second time after suffering through a divorce. Prenuptial agreements allow the parties to thoroughly discuss their separate financial situations regarding any debts and assets that they are bringing to the marriage and plan how they should handle matters if the marriage should end. This is also often a huge co nsideration for probate issues when there are children of a prior marriage, a new wife and no will or estate planning. In these circumstances, p roviding for the children through the prenuptial agreement may be helpful. While many people fe el threatened or offended by the thought of signing a prenuptial agreement, the fact is planning such a horrible event in the light of premarital bliss and true love, a couple is actually better able to think through matters in a confident, mature and clear way instead of through the eyes of anger of divorce. This can often s ave the parties significantly, both financially and emotionally if a divorce occurs, as well as eliminate any conclusion that the parties are marrying for the wrong reasons.
