Difference Between Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
While these agreements define spouses’ financial rights and responsibilities, they differ based on timing and context.
Prenuptial agreements:
- Entered before marriage
- Outline how property, debts, and other financial matters will be handled during the marriage and in the event of divorce
- Proactive tools for establishing clear expectations and avoiding future disputes
Postnuptial agreements:
- Created after marriage
- Used to address new marital circumstances, such as changes in income, asset acquisitions, or the start of new business ventures
- Beneficial for redefining financial arrangements and safeguarding each spouse’s interests
What You Can Include in These Agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are highly customizable and can address various topics, including the following:
- Property division - Designating how assets acquired before or during the marriage will be divided in case of divorce.
- Debt allocation - Assigning responsibility for existing or future debts to prevent disputes.
- Inheritance protection - Safeguarding family heirlooms, inheritances, or assets intended for children from previous relationships.
- Business interests - Defining how business ownership or interests will be managed or divided.
- Spousal support - Establishing terms for spousal support payments in the event of separation or divorce.
- Retirement accounts - Specifying how retirement funds and savings will be treated in a divorce settlement.
While these agreements can address numerous financial matters, it is important to note that certain issues cannot be predetermined in prenuptial or postnuptial agreements under Texas law, such as child custody.
