Charlotte Postnuptial Agreement Attorneys

Providing Financial Protection After Marriage

Postnuptial agreements are written contracts concerning how certain financial matters will be handled should the couple legally separate or divorce, or should one of the parties pass away. These contracts are similar to prenuptial agreements except that they are drafted and finalized after marriage.

These agreements must be written according to North Carolina law in order to be approved by the court and enforceable later on. They can be created at any time after a marriage has taken place.

North Carolina Postnuptial Agreements

Examples of when a postnuptial agreement may be useful are:

• When a spouse comes into an inheritance or otherwise acquires an asset that he or she wishes to pass on to his or her children from a prior marriage;
• When the couple failed to establish a prenup;
• When wanting to protect one spouse from the substantial debts of the other spouse;
• When a spouse wishes to keep a previous estate plan intact and valid; or
• When the spouses wish to establish spousal support plans should they divorce.

How Do I Get a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement calls for full disclosure of financial matters between the two parties. They are binding contracts that establish how the specific assets and debts of the couple will be distributed in the event of divorce. These are just a couple of reasons why it is important to work with an attorney.

In addition, postnuptial agreements must not violate what is called “public policy” in North Carolina. In order to make sure that your agreement is consistent with this policy and that it provides full financial clarity, work with one of our Charlotte postnuptial agreement attorneys.
