What is an Arizona Postnuptial Agreement?

An Arizona postnuptial agreement, sometimes called a post-marital agreement, is a legally binding contract that a married couple signs after they have been married. This document is like a prenuptial agreement, because it outlines how the couple's assets and liabilities will be divided in the event of a divorce, separation, or death of one spouse.

Why Do I Need a Postnuptial Agreement in Arizona?

A postnuptial agreement is a great tool for couples to use to protect their assets and plan their financial future. Many people believe that these contracts are only meant for extremely wealthy people, however, this marital document can benefit couples at all income levels.

Arizona is one of nine states in the United States that follows “ community property ” laws. This means that once a couple marries, any assets or debts obtained are equal responsibility of both spouses. For example, if one spouse purchases a car and takes out an auto-loan in their name, both spouses are responsible for the debt even if only one person uses the car.

Many people view community property laws as unfair, but without a valid prenuptial agreement, these are the laws that will govern a couple’s divorce. To avoid being subject to these laws, a couple can discuss what type of property distribution plan would be right for them and detail this plan in a legally binding prenuptial agreement.

Is a Postnuptial Agreement Enforceable in Arizona?

Yes. In Arizona, postnuptial agreements will typically be enforced as long as the contract meets specific requirements. Some of these requirements include:

  • The agreement must be in writing
  • It must be signed by both parties voluntarily (not under duress or false pretenses)
  • Both parties must make a full disclosure of assets and liabilities or waive disclosure
  • The agreement cannot be “unconscionable” (unfair)
  • The contract cannot violate public policy or state or federal statutes

An Arizona lawyer who has experience with postnuptial agreements can help ensure that your marital agreement meets these requirements and is legally enforceable.

What's Typically Included in an Arizona Postnuptial Agreement

Postnuptial agreements will vary based on the couple’s financial situation and personal wishes. These contracts are easy to customize so couples can include unique clauses about things that are important to them like a family business or clauses about children from prior relationships.

Typically, the following issues will be covered in an Arizona postnuptial agreement:

  1. Property division. How the couple's assets will be divided in the event of a divorce, separation, or death of one spouse. This can include property acquired before or during the marriage, as well as future assets.
  2. Separate property. How separate property (includes property that was owned by one spouse before the marriage or property that is acquired during the marriage through inheritance or gift) will be treated in the event of a divorce, separation, or death.
  3. Debt allocation. How debts will be divided in the event of a divorce, separation or death.
  4. Spousal support. Which spouse is entitled to alimony, how much, and for how long.
  5. Retirement accounts. The division of retirement accounts.

Arizona also allows marital agreements to cover matters involving personal rights and obligations as long as the terms do not violate public policy or state or federal criminal statutes.

Benefits of a Postnuptial Agreement

Postnuptial agreements provide couples with many benefits. The most noteworthy advantages to having a fair, well-written marital agreement include:

  • Protection of assets
  • Protection from debts
  • Customized plan to distribute assets in a divorce
  • Avoidance of a typical divorce settlement
  • Comprehensive planning for the future
  • Peace of mind knowing that financial matters are settled

Divorces are often emotional and can bring out the worst in people. A postnuptial agreement allows couples to settle high stress issues before the breakdown of the relationship.
