Has Your Partner Asked You to Sign a Prenuptial Agreement?
Has your significant other asked you to sign a prenuptial agreement?

Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into between two people prior to their marriage. In the event of a divorce, a prenuptial agreement can dictate anything from guardianship to division of assets. While prior to marriage, most couples don’t want to plan for when their marriage might dissolve, it may be worth it to protect your assets prior to entering into a marriage. If you are interested in drafting a prenuptial agreement or if your spouse asked you to sign a prenuptial agreement, it is important that you have a skilled attorney draft and/or review the prenuptial agreement.
