Many people are confused about what prenuptial agreements actually entail, or think that they are only for those with significant assets in their name. In recent years, more couples opt to work with an attorney to draft a prenuptial agreement that advocates for their best interests throughout their marriage. Prenuptial agreements can work to establish separate property before the marriage or as an estate planning guide to ensure adult children receive what they are entitled to. At The Trevor J. Avery Law Firm, our lawyer has extensive experience identifying potential areas of conflict and can help start your marriage on a solid foundation.

Why Do You Need a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement in North Carolina?

Prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements outline any range of rights and obligations that can arise from a marriage between two people, with the exception of child support or child custody.

Under the Uniform Prenuptial Agreement Act (UPAA) in North Carolina, any agreement must be made in writing and signed by both spouses. These agreements can be amended in the future should any situation change. In some instances, such as whether both parties voluntarily signed the agreement or when one person did not disclose their financial obligations, a premarital and post-marital agreement may not be enforceable. Working with a seasoned family lawyer can ensure an agreement is in good faith and reflects your best interests during a marriage.
