It is a practical way to look at marriage. The unfortunate truth is that not all marriages work, and many ends in separation and divorce.

Why Should You Create a Premarital Agreement?

There are three instances when premarital agreements may be advisable:

  • You’re entering into a second marriage, and you and your future spouse have children of your own, and you would like to preserve your assets for your children.
  • You own a business and you have partners.
  • Your future spouse has a significant amount of debt. An agreement will protect you from creditors
