Prenuptial Agreements
|
A prenuptial agreement is a contract that is written up, and entered into by both parties in the marriage, prior to the marriage. It states what will happen to property, money, and other assets in the event of a divorce. Once a prenuptial agreement is written up, in most cases, a court cannot decide what happens to the spouses' assets, as the agreement is fully binding. Nevertheless, there are certain cases in which the contract can be challenged. For instance, if there are certain terms in the contract unknown to the other spouse. |
Although a prenuptial agreement says what will happen to assets upon a divorce, what it cannot decide is what happens to the spouses' children in the event of a divorce. The reason being is that the court ought to be the unbiased party that decides what's in the best interest of the children. Nevertheless, many people believe that since custody battles are so difficult, that couples should be able to decide such a thing in advance. Arkady Reifman knows the Illinois statutes governing prenuptial agreements, inside and out. He will help you craft an agreement that the courts will not be able to overrule, and that will make the process of divorce much smoother. |
