Helping Couples Draft Postnuptial Agreements in South Carolina
Postnuptial agreements are legal documents that are drafted in the event that a couple decides to get married, with the intention of protecting each other's assets in the event of a divorce. Postnuptial agreements can be drafted to govern any aspect of the couple's financial affairs during marriage, including:
- Spousal support in the event of divorce
- Division of marital property in the event of a divorce
- Management of assets during marriage
Postnuptial agreements are often drafted by people who are wealthy and successful, and who have assets that they wish to protect, either in the event of divorce or death. Executives, business owners, and professionals are often the types of people who should consider the benefits of a postnuptial agreement.
What Is a Postnuptial Agreement?
A postnuptial agreement is a contract between two people who are already married, which establishes the terms and conditions of their property and financial affairs during the marriage. It is also known as a "prenuptial agreement" or "prenup." Postnuptial agreements are governed by the laws of South Carolina and are legally binding.
