Planning ahead with a prenuptial agreement can help give you and your future spouse peace of mind. Barboza Law is here to guide you through the process of creating a legally sound, personalized prenup that can provide clarity for your financial future.
Before tying the knot, it’s helpful to understand what a prenuptial agreement entails. Also known as a prenup, it is a legal document that outlines how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce. Having a solid prenup created with the guidance of an experienced attorney can actually strengthen your marriage, by opening up honest discussions about finances.
Working on a personalized prenuptial agreement with Barboza Law can help you:
Protect Your Assets: A prenup can specify how assets brought into the marriage will be divided in case of divorce, safeguarding your personal property and finances.
Define Debt: Clearly outlining each spouse’s responsibility for debts incurred during the marriage can prevent disputes down the road.
Clarify Financial Rights: A prenup can establish how assets acquired during the marriage will be divided, helping to avoid lengthy court battles in the future.
Set Expectations for Alimony or Spousal Support: Allows couples to predetermine the amount, duration, and conditions for alimony or spousal support payment. This can include provisions waiving spousal support entirely or specifying modifiable terms based on future circumstances.

Prenuptial agreements are generally enforceable in court, but certain conditions must be met for them to be valid. These conditions vary by jurisdiction but often include full disclosure of assets, absence of coercion or duress, and fairness in the terms of the agreement. Consulting with a knowledgeable attorney can help ensure your prenup meets all requirements.
If circumstances change after signing a prenuptial agreement, such as a significant increase or decrease in wealth, it may be possible to modify the agreement through a postnuptial agreement. However, any changes must be made voluntarily by both parties and with full disclosure of assets, similar to the requirements for creating a prenup.
