What is a Wedding Agreement?

A wedding agreement is a contract between two people who plan to get married or are recently married that sets the rules for how their property is distributed. The contract is ideal for couples that are wealthy or have a considerable amount of assets to their name prior to the marriage since it protects their assets in the event of a divorce.

Wedding agreements are generally used to eliminate legal problems if the parties file for divorce. This ensures that both parties are treated fairly and aren't stripped of the things they brought into the marriage as a result of the relationship not working out.

What's Included in a Wedding Agreement?

A typical Wedding Agreement should include the following elements:

  • Identification of the Parties: The agreement should clearly identify the parties involved, including their full names, addresses, and other relevant information.
  • Description of Property: The agreement should describe the property and assets of each party, including any real estate, personal property, bank accounts, investments, and debts.
  • Division of Property: The agreement should specify how property and assets will be divided in the event of a divorce or death. This can include a division of property based on the laws of the jurisdiction where the parties reside, or a division of property based on specific terms agreed upon by the parties.
  • Spousal Support: The agreement should specify whether spousal support will be paid in the event of a divorce, and if so, the amount and duration of such support.
  • Waiver of Claims: The agreement should include a waiver of claims to property and assets that are not specifically included in the agreement.
  • Confidentiality: The agreement should include provisions for maintaining the confidentiality of the agreement and any related information.
  • Governing Law: The agreement should specify the governing law that will be used to interpret and enforce the terms of the agreement.
  • Signatures: The agreement should be signed by both parties to indicate their agreement to the terms and conditions outlined in the document.

It is important to note that the specific provisions of a Wedding Agreement will vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific needs and circumstances of the parties involved. It is always recommended to seek the advice of a qualified attorney to ensure that the agreement meets the legal requirements and protects the interests of both parties.

"Solid drafting work on a B2B paid services agreement with a nuanced surcharge model. Daehoon delivered on time across two rounds, cited actual Illinois case law where relevant, and proactively flagged edge cases I hadn't specifically asked about. His initial bid was the sharpest of the seven I received — he clearly read the parameters carefully. One note for future buyers: scope discipline runs both ways with him. He'll flag scope creep quickly and quote a supplemental fee (in my case $600 on a $1,200 base) for revisions beyond the follow-up envelope. That's fair and clearly communicated, but budget for it if you expect iteration. Would hire again for drafting work where scope is well-defined upfront."

Principal Attorney

Chicago, Illinois

DePaul University College of Law

My name is Ryenne Shaw and I help business owners build businesses that operate as assets instead of liabilities, increase in value over time and build wealth. My areas of expertise include corporate formation and business structure, contract law, employment/labor law, business risk and compliance and intellectual property. I also serve as outside general counsel to several businesses across various industries nationally. I spent most of my early legal career assisting C.E.O.s, General Counsel, and in-house legal counsel of both large and smaller corporations in minimizing liability, protecting business assets and maximizing profits. While working with many of these entities, I realized that smaller entities are often underserved. I saw that smaller business owners weren’t receiving the same level of legal support larger corporations relied upon to grow and sustain. I knew this was a major contributor to the ceiling that most small businesses hit before they’ve even scratched the surface of their potential. And I knew at that moment that all of this lack of knowledge and support was creating a huge wealth gap. After over ten years of legal experience, I started my law firm to provide the legal support small to mid-sized business owners and entrepreneurs need to grow and protect their brands, businesses, and assets. I have a passion for helping small to mid-sized businesses and startups grow into wealth-building assets by leveraging the same legal strategies large corporations have used for years to create real wealth. I enjoy connecting with my clients, learning about their visions and identifying ways to protect and maximize the reach, value and impact of their businesses. I am a strong legal writer with extensive litigation experience, including both federal and state (and administratively), which brings another element to every contract I prepare and the overall counsel and value I provide. Some of my recent projects include: - Negotiating & Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements - Drafting Trademark Licensing Agreements - Drafting Ambassador and Influencer Agreements - Drafting Collaboration Agreements - Drafting Service Agreements for service-providers, coaches and consultants - Drafting Master Service Agreements and SOWs - Drafting Terms of Service and Privacy Policies - Preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries - Drafting Employee Handbooks, Standard Operations and Procedures (SOPs) manuals, employment agreements - Creating Employer-employee infrastructure to ensure business compliance with employment and labor laws - Drafting Independent Contractor Agreements and Non-Disclosure/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreements - Conducting Federal Trademark Searches and filing trademark applications - Preparing Trademark Opinion Letters after conducting appropriate legal research - Drafting Letters of Opinion for Small Business Loans - Drafting and Responding to Cease and Desist Letters I service clients throughout the United States across a broad range of industries.
