Prenuptial agreements allocate the division of assets or other obligations arising from the marriage that are entered into before the marriage. Some may view these types of arrangements negatively in that they suggest or imply that there is a chance of a separation before it even happens. However, in many situations, these agreements can be used to protect assets and can determine the rights of each party without the tensions and frustrations that accompany a divorce.
Depending on the financial or familial circumstances for one or both spouses, these agreements preemptively define and allocate certain assets that were accrued prior to the marriage. Often times if one person has substantial debt, if both parties own “real” property (i.e. real estate), or if one or both parties have children, there is a desire to address these contingencies before there are other issues in the relationship.
As family attorneys, our underlying goal in any divorce case, aside from the nuts and bolts work of addressing assets/debt, support, and any child-related issues, is to make this difficult process as painless and expedient as possible, working in the best interest of our client. Sometimes this is achieved through a discussion before the marriage begins as to how best to protect our clients with a prenup. One of the most important things to do is become informed by talking with a Virginia prenuptial agreements lawyer.
