What is a Nevada Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement, officially called a premarital agreement in Nevada, is a legally binding contract executed by a couple before they get married. Nevada officially defines a premarital agreement as “an agreement between prospective spouses made in contemplation of marriage and to be effective upon marriage”. Essentially, prenups are used for financial planning and asset division in the event of a divorce.

Why Do I Need a Prenuptial Agreement in Nevada?

In Nevada, courts adhere to the principles of “ community property ” when determining how to divide assets between parties in a divorce. This means that once married, all assets and debts obtained are shared equally by each person. When the couple divorces, the assets and debts are split 50/50 despite who contributed to the asset or debt more.

For example, if one spouse incurs credit card debt on their own account, the other spouse is still responsible for 50% of that debt in a divorce.

Many people view community property laws as unfair. Although these laws split all assets and debts 50/50, they can leave some spouses at a gigantic financial loss. One way couples can bypass community property laws is by having an enforceable prenuptial agreement.

The prenup can lay out how debts and assets will be split in a divorce and as along as the prenup is fair and reasonable, it will most likely be upheld in court by a judge.

What's Typically Included in a Nevada Prenuptial Agreement

Each couple’s prenuptial agreement will look a little different based on their assets, debts, and future plans. Some common issues addressed in prenups include:

  • The rights and obligations of each spouse regarding premarital property and marital property
  • Each spouse’s rights to buy, sell, transfer, use, manage, and control property
  • Allocation of property if a spouse dies
  • Whether one spouse will have the right to alimony and if so, the amount
  • The ownership rights of the death benefit from a life insurance policy
  • The choice of law that governs the agreement

Nevada prenuptial agreements cannot resolve child custody and child support issues. The state views child support as a right belonging to the child, not the parents. Neither parent has the right to deprive the child support from the other parent. In addition, custody and parenting time is determined based on what is in the best interest of the child at the time of the divorce. This is not an issue that can be agreed upon before the divorce.

Is a Prenuptial Agreement Enforceable in Nevada?

Nevada 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 Nevada it must meet the following requirements:

  • The agreement must be in writing
  • Signed by both parties
  • The agreement cannot be “unconscionable” (unfair)
  • The prenup cannot violate public policy

Prenuptial agreements will not be upheld if either party was forced to sign under duress, coercion, or fraud. Fraud can include one spouse failing to fully disclose their full financial situation before signing the agreement.

Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement

Even though prenuptial agreements can carry a negative connotation, these contracts provide couples with many benefits. Some 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

Prenuptial agreements will also save couples money in costly litigation. Finances are the number one issue that couples fight about in a divorce. By eliminating this issue with a prenuptial agreement, the divorce will be smoother with less time spent in a courtroom.

Prenuptial Agreement Drafting in Nevada

Hiring an attorney to draft a prenuptial agreement is highly recommended. A lawyer with experience drafting prenups will be familiar with Nevada laws and know what can and cannot be included and enforced in a prenuptial agreement.

When a couple hires an attorney to draft their prenup, they usually start with a consultation. The lawyer will need to learn about the couple, their financial situations, and their future plans. Then, the lawyer can draft a prenup that meets the couple’s needs.

Prenuptial Agreement Review in Nevada

Some couples may choose to draft their own premarital agreement to save on attorney’s fees, however this could cause issues in the future. Nevada law requires that each party understands the financial resources of the other party and the rights being forfeited under the agreement. To fully understand the agreement and what rights are being given or denied, couples should always consult with an attorney.

A family law attorney can review the prenup to ensure that it is drafted properly and that each spouse fully disclosed their financial information, and they understand the terms of the contract. This will avoid any issues of upholding the prenup in court if the couple divorces.

Hi, I'm Randy. I've been practicing law for over 30 years, with extensive experience drafting, reviewing, and revising contracts for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses. I spent nearly 15 years running my own law practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I represented small business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs, and clients in the entertainment industry. That experience taught me that a good contract must do more than address legal requirements. It should clearly define the parties' rights and obligations, anticipate practical problems, and protect my client's interests if the relationship does not go as planned. Contract drafting and review are major parts of my practice. Over the course of my career, I've drafted and reviewed hundreds of agreements. I also review contracts prepared by other attorneys, businesses, and individuals to identify legal issues, assess enforceability, and identify potential compliance issues under current applicable law. My experience includes: • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements • Employment and independent contractor agreements • LLC operating agreements for single-member and multi-member LLCs • Consulting, coaching, freelancer, and professional services agreements • Residential and commercial leases • NDAs and confidentiality agreements • Entertainment industry agreements • Business formation and corporate documents • Other commercial and business contracts I also have substantial experience preparing estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. I'm currently based in New York City and am licensed to practice law in Virginia. I work remotely with clients on contract projects across the country. My approach is practical and straightforward. I take the time to understand the transaction, the client's objectives, and the risks that need to be addressed. I then draft an agreement that is clear, thorough, and usable in the real world. Whether you need a new agreement drafted, an existing contract reviewed, or revisions to a document you are negotiating, I can help you identify the important issues and prepare a contract that reflects your objectives. I would be glad to discuss your project and how I can help.

"I cannot recommend Randy highly enough. From start to finish, he provided one of the most professional and thorough legal experiences I've ever had. This was my first time navigating a prenuptial agreement, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Randy exceeded every expectation. He conducted an incredibly detailed review of the agreement, carefully explaining each recommendation in plain language while supporting his findings with applicable Georgia law. His attention to detail was remarkable, and he identified issues that I never would have recognized on my own. What impressed me most was his responsiveness, clear communication, and genuine commitment to ensuring I understood every aspect of the agreement before signing. Our overall marriage license timeline was seriously delayed because my Fiancé's attorney (also from Contracts Counsel) stopped responding halfway through but Randy even caught several drafting errors from my fiancé's attorney that could have easily been overlooked. That level of diligence speaks volumes about the quality of his work. If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, meticulous, responsive, and truly advocates for his clients, Randy is an outstanding choice. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to family, friends, and colleagues. Thank you, Randy, for your exceptional service and for making such an important life decision much easier to navigate."
