Even after marriage, couples sometimes find it helpful to formally define or update how finances, assets, and responsibilities will be handled. Unlike prenuptial agreements, which are signed before you are legally married, Postnuptial Agreements are created after your marriage has begun. Life changes—new careers, adoptions, illness, inheritances, or shifting financial goals—often make these agreements a smart and proactive choice.
Often a couple want a postnuptial agreement when they have separated, but wish to reconcile and keep working on their marriage. Often there are conditions that one spouse wants to place on the other before allowing them to move back into the marital home and reconcile.
A Postnuptial Agreement allows you and your spouse to create a clear plan that reflects your current circumstances—whether that means:
- protecting a business
- addressing significant debt
- planning for children from a prior relationship
- bringing greater transparency to your marriage if there have been issues with infidelity, addiction or gambling
Our firm guides couples through this process with care and discretion. We tailor Postnuptial Agreements to your unique situation, helping you strengthen your marriage by eliminating uncertainty and giving both partners confidence in the future.
