What is a post nuptial agreement?

Like prenuptial agreements, a post nuptial agreement is a legal document that outlines a couple's wishes in regards to property division and other marital issues, such as alimony, child support, child custody, and visitation. However, unlike a prenuptial agreement, post nuptial agreements are filed after a couple has been married, rather than before. If you are interested in filing a post nuptial agreement, please contact a Riverside divorce attorney today.

There are several benefits to filing a post nuptial agreement. First, a post nuptial agreement can protect both your separate and marital property from equal distribution in the even the marriage ends in divorce. Furthermore, because your wishes in regards to child support, spousal support, and child custody will already be disclosed in the agreement, a post nuptial agreement can also expedite the divorce process. This can save you both time and money in the long run. Although deciding what to include or not to include in a post nuptial agreement can make for an awkward and uncomfortable discussion, it is in your best interest to have an agreement on file with the courts. Not only will a post nuptial agreement protect your assets and best interests during a divorce, but it can also save you from the stress and anxiety of a contested divorce.
