What is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement, sometimes called a premarital agreement or shortened to the term “ prenup ”, is a legally binding contract between a couple who is preparing to get married. Prenuptial agreements establish how property, assets, and debts will be divided if the couple decides to divorce.

Why Do I Need a Prenuptial Agreement in Arizona?

Prenuptial agreements can be a challenging topic to discuss because most couples don’t want to talk about divorce before they are even married. These contracts, however; are great tools for couples to use to protect their assets and their financial future. This is especially true if one of the spouses has children from a previous relationship.

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, both spouses are responsible for the debt. Additionally, if one spouse purchases a house, the other spouse is entitled to half the value of house even if they didn’t contribute to the purchase.

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 Prenuptial Agreement Enforceable in Arizona?

Arizona is one of the twenty-seven states that follows the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA) for laws regarding prenuptial agreements. Under this act, for a prenup to be enforceable in Arizona it must meet the following requirements:

  • The agreement must be in writing
  • Signed by both parties voluntarily (not under duress or false pretenses)
  • The agreement cannot be “unconscionable” (unfair)
  • The prenup cannot violate public policy

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

What's Typically Included in an Arizona Prenuptial Agreement

Prenuptial agreements will vary based on the couple’s needs and their financial situation. Prenups are easy to customize, and couples can include unique clauses about things that are important to them like family heirlooms or business.

Arizona prenuptial agreements can legally cover the following issues:

  • The rights and obligations of each spouse regarding all assets and debts no matter when they were acquired or where the assets are located
  • The rights to buy, sell, transfer, use, manage, and control property
  • Allocation of property if a spouse dies
  • The modification or elimination of spousal support (alimony)
  • The making of a will or trust to facilitate the terms of the prenup
  • The ownership rights of the death benefit from a life insurance policy
  • The choice of law that governs the agreement

Arizona also allows prenups to cover any other matters including personal rights and obligations as long as the terms do not violate public policy or a criminal law. In addition, the prenup can address child support, but the support cannot be adversely affected by the prenuptial agreement.

Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement

Prenuptial agreements provide couples with many benefits. The most noteworthy advantages to having a fair, well-written premarital 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 prenuptial agreement settles the most tedious matters – financial matters – before the breakdown of the relationship. A prenup will save spouses both time and money in divorce court.

Prenuptial Agreement Drafting in Arizona

Prenuptial agreements are important documents that can have lasting financial effects on people’s lives. It is important that these legally binding contracts are drafted properly by a knowledgeable lawyer who is familiar with Arizona laws.

Before drafting a prenup, a lawyer will have a consultation with the couple. The lawyer will need to document all the couple’s assets and debts so they can be included in the prenup. It is important not to leave out any information. Once the lawyer has collected all pertinent information, he can draft a customized prenuptial agreement.

Prenuptial Agreement Review in Arizona

Templates for prenuptial agreements are readily available online so it is possible for a couple to draft their own prenup. If prospective spouses choose this route, it is highly recommended that they have a licensed attorney review their agreement before signing. An attorney will look over the contract to ensure that it is fair and abides by all Arizona laws. This will ensure that the contract will hold up in court.

Unique Hybrid Background ➲ Deep Legal, Tech & Commercial Experience More by pure chance than design, I arrived late in life to pursue a career in law. My background spans more than 3 decades across Information Technology, entrepreneurship & the legal profession supporting my claim to being a 'Deep Generalist'. What is a 'Deep Generalist'? 'The professionals who develop into really great client advisors are deep generalists.' Quote from Warren Bennis. From 2013 I worked for established boutique property, finance & commercial law firms + an award-winning #newlaw firm of senior lawyers (formerly Nexus Law Group, now merged with Arch.law) before founding my digital law firm Blue Ocean Law Group in 2017. I also worked part-time for 2 years as a freelance online expert across all aspects of Australian Law with JustAnswer (H.Q. in San Francisco) and volunteered at the Caxton Legal Centre to give back to the community. Now I offer pro bono (free) legal assistance at my discretion. My achievements in the law are best reflected in the high number of settlements where civil litigation has been avoided, court judgements (incl. successful appeals) in my clients' favour & [90+] testimonials which can be seen on the blueocean.law [700+] page website which offers tons [585+] of both free & paid innovative legal products & resources. My personal experience as a client on the other side of legal matters affords me a unique perspective and goes some way to explaining my passion for the reinvention of the delivery of legal services. I am an early adopter of technology + gadgets, an avid reader and an animal lover. In January 2023, I joined the IAPP – International Association of Privacy Professionals and became a Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States by gaining the highly valued gold-standard ANSI-Accredited CIPP/US credential. I followed this up in August 2023, by obtaining the Certified in CyberSecurity qualification form ISC(2). Pre-Law Background From 1992 to 2002, I worked for Accenture as an IT Project Manager across APAC (including long-term project assignments in New Zealand & Singapore). I started a small business side hustle in 1997 and in 2003 I left Accenture to become a full-time entrepreneur in the transport industry. I later expanded into the mezzanine property development finance market as well as venturing into small-scale property development.Unique Hybrid Background
