Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Woburn Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreement Lawyers

Seasoned Assistance in Middlesex County & Greater Boston

Understanding your partner’s financial situation and future expectations is essential in any relationship, but it is a conversation seldom conducted before marriage. Many couples find the discussion and the topic generally uncomfortable: it can be challenging to approach the subject before choosing to marry. 

Despite better judgment or sound advice, couples are frequently deterred from entering a prenuptial agreement simply because of social stigma. However, such an agreement is not intended to promote conflict or distrust, but to prevent future disputes and minimize time, stress, and expense if a divorce occurs.

At Schaefer Law PC, we provide experienced counsel for clients seeking to establish fair and enforceable prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. With over 25 years of experience, we guide couples through the process of crafting agreements that offer clarity, reduce conflict, and safeguard their financial futures.

Understanding Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement, or "prenup," is a legal contract entered into before marriage that outlines how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled during the marriage and in the event of divorce or death. 

A postnuptial agreement is similar but created after a couple is married. Both agreements clarify expectations, protect separate property, and reduce uncertainty.

Despite their similarities, married couples who want to create such an agreement are encouraged to do so as close to the date of their marriage as possible.

What Can Be Included in Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreements?

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can address a wide range of financial and property issues, including:

  • Division of assets and debts in case of divorce
  • Ownership of property acquired before and during the marriage
  • Rights to inheritances or gifts
  • Alimony or spousal support terms
  • Protections for family-owned businesses
  • Responsibilities for marital expenses
