Why would I need to get a pre-nuptial agreement?

Pre-nuptial agreements are a way to protect assets in a divorce. There are several reasons why you might want to get a pre-nuptial agreement, including:

  • If there is a large wealth discrepancy prior to the marriage
  • If you and your partner have a significant amount of assets and property
  • If you have a child from another marriage and you want to protect their inheritance
  • To set predetermined amounts of spousal support

While no one wants to think about getting divorced, a pre-nuptial agreement is a way to make that process run more smoothly, especially if there is a lot of assets and property involved.
