  • Property Rights

    A prenuptial agreement is a contract that outlines the division of property between spouses and how it will be divided in the event of divorce or death. This can include real estate, personal property, bank accounts, and other assets.

  • Retirement Or Pension Benefits

    If you have retirement savings or pension plans with your spouse, a prenup can help protect those benefits during divorce proceedings or if one person dies before the other. If you don't have a prenup with your partner, you might lose some or all of those benefits if the relationship ends in divorce or death.

  • Alimony

    Alimony is financial support paid by one spouse to another after a divorce—often awarded by courts when one spouse was financially dependent on their ex during the marriage. Prenuptials may provide alimony payments to continue after divorce; however, even if they don't explicitly mention it in the document itself, a judge could still award alimony in accordance with state law.

  • Pre-marital children ownership

    One common misconception about prenuptial agreements is that they only apply to money and property. However, a prenup can cover other things, including child custody and visitation rights. If you have children from a previous marriage, you should consider adding provisions to your prenup that specify who will have custody of those children in case of a divorce or death.

Are prenuptial agreements public record?

My partner and I are considering signing a prenuptial agreement before getting married. I want to keep it confidential and I'm not sure if we have to file this with the state or when we get married and would be publicly available?

Michael M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

Prenuptial Agreements are private agreements between the parties. They are typically not public, however, if the matter goes to court, they can be made part of the public record.

Is a prenuptial agreement legally binding in the event of a divorce?

I am engaged and considering getting a prenuptial agreement to protect my assets in case of a divorce, but I have heard conflicting information about their enforceability. I have worked hard to build my business and accumulate significant savings, and I want to ensure that these assets are protected in the event of a divorce. I would like to know if a prenuptial agreement is legally binding and what factors can affect its enforceability in my state.

Khari P.

Answered Jul 4, 2025

A prenup would be binding in a divorce action provided that the prenuptial agreement was written properly, both parties disclosed all relevant financial information along with an acknowledgement that they had the right to consult an attorney of their own choosing before signing, and the signing was witnessed by a notary.

Prenuptial Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

Is a prenuptial agreement legally binding?

I am planning to get married and I have been advised to consider a prenuptial agreement to protect my assets in the event of a divorce. However, I am unclear on the legal validity and enforceability of a prenuptial agreement and whether it can be challenged or overturned in court. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to help me understand the legal implications of a prenuptial agreement and ensure that my interests are protected.

Briana C.

Answered Apr 25, 2023

Judges in most cases honor and enforce (signed and notarized) prenuptial agreements between two spouses as long as both parties entered it freely and voluntarily and with full knowledge of one another financial circumstances, and the agreement is not "unconscionable." A prenuptial agreement may not be enforced if (1) either party signed it under duress or coercion or undue pressure (or, say, the night before the wedding), (2) the party seeking to enforce it did not truthfully and completely disclose their financial information, or (3) enforcing the prenup would leave one spouse so destitute that they could not meet their most basic living expenses (i.e., would be forced onto welfare). In short, the prenuptial agreement will be enforced if (1) all the procedural requirements were met at the time it was signed and (2) the terms are not unconscionable, taking into account the circumstances existing at the time of divorce.

Prenuptial Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

How does a prenuptial agreement affect taxes?

As a couple planning to get married, my partner and I are concerned about the tax implications of a prenuptial agreement. We are wondering if entering into a prenuptial agreement will have any impact on our tax obligations or if there are any specific tax considerations that we should be aware of. We are seeking advice from a lawyer who can provide us with guidance on this matter.

Briana C.

Answered Apr 25, 2023

A prenuptial agreement does not in itself affect how taxing authorities will treat the spouses. But it can create promises between the spouses toward one another. For example, it may create a promise to file jointly, or specify that they are making no such promise. And it can create a promise by each spouse to pay the other back for any taxes the other pays on his or spouse's behalf. The decision whether to file jointly or separately does have tax implications with taxing authorities.
