Prenuptial agreements aren’t just for celebrities and high net-worth individuals. They’re for anyone who wishes to protect the assets they are bringing into a marriage — and safeguard their interests in the event of divorce. Importantly, they can also serve as a tool that encourages a couple to have a discussion about how they will handle their finances during the marriage. If you are considering entering into a prenuptial agreement or your soon-to-be spouse has presented you with one, it’s vital to have an experienced prenuptial agreement lawyer by your side to protect your interests.

No one wants to think about divorce when they’re tying the knot. But unfortunately, divorce is not uncommon and it’s important to take measures to safeguard what is rightfully yours. A prenuptial agreement can help to avoid lengthy and costly litigation if a marriage doesn’t work out by determining property rights in advance. Without a valid prenup in place, Pennsylvania law could potentially decide how your assets would be divided.
At The Kulick Law Firm, we assist clients with negotiating and drafting effective prenuptial agreements that can be used to:
Although they can resolve many issues in advance, prenups do come with certain limitations. Specifically, they cannot determine child support or child custody matters. Pennsylvania prenuptial agreements also cannot decide the issue of temporary alimony while a divorce action is pending.
To be valid and enforceable, a prenup must be fair to both spouses, entered into voluntarily, and fully disclose each party’s assets. An experienced prenuptial agreement lawyer can help ensure the terms in your prenup will hold up in court. At Kulick Law Firm, we will work closely with you to learn the details of your specific financial circumstances and draft a fair agreement that meets your goals.
A prenup can be a wise financial decision — especially for those who were financially secure prior to the marriage or in situations where one spouse has significantly more assets. But it can also be a smart move for those who are remarrying and have children from a previous marriage they wish to provide for when they pass away. In addition to safeguarding your assets from divorce, a solid prenuptial agreement can also work alongside a comprehensive estate plan to define certain property rights.
A prenup should be specifically tailored based on each party’s financial situation. But they don’t always need to be set in stone. Spouses can modify a prenup during the course of their marriage and amend certain provisions if circumstances change. In some cases, spouses might consider including a sunset clause which would void the agreement if the marriage lasts a certain number of years.
While it’s always best to execute a prenup, Pennsylvania law also recognizes postnuptial agreements. These are similar to prenups, except that they are executed after the marriage was entered into. A postnuptial agreement can be essential if a spouse started a business during the marriage or in cases where divorce is imminent.
