By Carolyn Goodman

It is not unusual to feel some stress in bringing up the idea of a Prenuptial Agreement with your partner. However, if you approach a Prenuptial Agreement as a way to discuss your future financial life with your soon to be spouse this can help you start your married life with some basic agreements about your finances.

DC Prenuptial Agreement and DC Postnuptial Agreement

By Carolyn Goodman

Whether you call it a Prenuptial Agreement, a Prenup, or a Premarital Agreement, it is a contract between you and your future spouse that determines your financial rights and obligations if your marriage ends as a result of divorce or death.

It is best to discuss these issues as far in advance of your wedding as possible. You do not want to be talking about who pays for what and who will have ownership of which bank account when it is time to be talking about the menu for your wedding day.
