Most people are familiar with the concept of a prenuptial agreement—the legal contract that a couple enters into before their marriage to protect their wealth in case of divorce. However, far fewer couples are aware of post-nuptial agreements. Unlike prenups, post-nups are legal contracts entered into after the marriage is already underway. Surprising to most, this document is a legal contract for unions that can have an enormously positive effect on a marriage, or on a divorce if a marriage can’t be saved. Below are just a few of the great benefits of post-nups.

Marriage is a union which incorporates several features, not the least among them financial. It’s true, of course, at the beginning of a marital relationship the romantic aspect often overrides other considerations. However, as the routine of everyday living takes hold, you and your spouse will discover the quality of your union will be measured as much in well-being as it is in hugs and kisses. I can still recall a popular slogan from my childhood days during the Great Depression, "When poverty walks through the door, love flies out the window." It’s for this reason the economic aspect of your marriage be considered from the onset.
