Frequently Asked Questions
Will the postnuptial agreement be valid to the date of marriage?
It could be. The spouses can extend the contract retroactively to the date of their marriage or agree that it will only cover assets acquired in the future.
Will the postnuptial apply to all of our property?
A postnuptial agreement can be a comprehensive contract or a specific agreement regarding only certain items of property.
Can we incorporate child custody and visitation into our postnuptial agreement?
Unfortunately, no. Contrary to a popular belief, postnuptial agreements cannot include any issues pertaining to the couple’s children, such as custody and visitation or child support.
Can postnuptial agreement specify reimbursement rights for each of our investments into a specific property?
Absolutely. In fact, if you only want to define your rights to a specific property, you may not need a full postnuptial agreement. A standalone property agreement would be sufficient.
