Whether or not you need a pre-nuptial agreement depends on you and your spouse’s financial situation. The main reason that people get a prenuptial agreement is to clearly outline the expectations and responsibilities of each spouse in the event of a divorce. Typically, prenuptial agreements are found in cases where there is a large financial disparity between spouses or to protect inheritances from a past marriage. If you are considering getting a prenuptial agreement, it is important to speak with a family law attorney right away.
