Postnuptial Agreements for Clients
in the Fairfield, CT Region
Signing a postnuptial agreement after getting married can help you to avoid serious conflict down the line if your union ends in divorce. Save yourself from all sorts of disagreements in the courtroom by considering a postnuptial agreement that spells out what will happen after filing for divorce.
Like a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement outlines the division of property in a marriage. In this case, however, the agreement is signed after the marriage has already begun. Postnuptial agreements can include instructions for what to do with property acquired after the marriage has started. They can also spell out the guidelines for spousal support, as well as who has the right to any retirement plans, annuities, or life insurance policies. Since they are signed after a couple is already married, the discussion surrounding them may become an emotionally trying process.

Postnuptial agreements are designed to make the divorce process easier should a divorce or legal separation ultimately be sought. However, they do not mandate divorce specifically.
Postnuptial agreements are typically looked at more deeply by the courts, as they are seen as an opportunity for one spouse to take advantage of the other. Therefore, it’s a good idea to seek the help of a qualified attorney familiar with Connecticut family law. This way, you will be able to avoid many issues and problems down the line.
