Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements (also called antenuptial agreements) have been around for hundreds of years. And for just as long as they’ve been around, their enforceability has been litigated. Clients who desire to have a prenuptial agreement, often ask for an “iron clad” agreement that will never be subject to attack. But, just as there are no guarantees in life, there are no guarantees in law, and there is simply no way to know at the time a prenuptial agreement is entered into if it will hold up years later. But for many individuals with high assets or wealth, or who have the possibility of amassing high assets/wealth during the marriage, it’s better to have a prenuptial agreement that may be subject to attack later, than to not have a prenuptial at all.

Postnuptial Agreements
Postnuptial agreements (also sometimes referred to as marital settlement agreements) can also be entered into, either as part of a negotiated settlement of a divorce action, or even if no divorce action is anticipated. The enforceability of a post-nuptial agreement depends on whether it is being entered into in anticipation of a divorce, or if a divorce action is pending, or whether it is being entered into while the marriage is still in tact and no divorce action is anticipated.
