When a person engaged to be married has children or substantial assets, such as real estate, large investments, or business assets, a prenuptial agreement should be considered.

When There are Children from Previous Unions

Before parents enter a marriage, it is important to consider issues for your children such as inheritance rights and guardianship issues. A prenuptial agreement can ensure that family assets existing before the marriage will remain in the children's family line regardless of the outcome of the marriage.

Inheritances - Business Interests - Newly Acquired Assets

Postnuptial agreements are sometimes used to clarify the ownership of an inheritance, business interest, or other major asset which comes to either spouse after the marriage is in place. Spouses are often willing to discuss the possibility of a postnuptial agreement, particularly when children from previous relationships are involved on either side.
