BEFORE MARRIAGE
Prenuptial Agreements in Massachusetts
While the joyous period before a wedding is not a time when most couples consider a potential divorce, doing so can stave off the possibility of costly litigation in the event of divorce; it can also provide engaged couples with the confidence of knowing that everything will be “okay” should the marriage fail.
Generally speaking, a Prenuptial Agreement is a contract entered into by an engaged couple that addresses the allocation of assets and potential alimony if the marriage ends in divorce. In Massachusetts, a well-drafted Prenuptial Agreement can help you:
+ Protect assets acquired before marriage
+ Protect assets inherited or gifted from parents and others
+ Protect business interests
+ Limit exposure to alimony (spousal support)
