Prenuptial Agreements

What is a prenuptial agreement?

Prenuptial agreements, sometimes referred to as “prenups,” are private agreements between a couple contemplating marriage. Typically a prenuptial agreement customizes the arrangement of your marriage and provides provisions for the following in the event of a divorce, or death of either spouse:

• How the property owned by each of you prior to the marriage, and the property that is acquired during your marriage
• How the income and earnings of each of you are treated during the marriage and determining to what extent a spouse is entitled to alimony or spousal support if there is a divorce

If you have such an agreement it will likely make the divorce process easier, in the event that the marriage becomes dissolved. The law offices of Kelleher & Kelleher can assist you with protecting your legal rights if you are contemplating a prenuptial agreement.
