Prenuptial Agreements Archives

No prenup for Jennifer Aniston and her groom?

In what is viewed as an unusual move for a celebrity marriage, evidently celebrity Jennifer Aniston and her husband to be, Justin Theroux, are planning to soon walk down the aisle without the benefit of having a prenuptial agreement. Anniston reportedly has assets that may be as large as $150 million, which would lead many soon-to-be spouses seeking to have such an agreement in place just in case wedded bliss later turns into acrimony and divorce. Celebrity marriages, in particular, are well known for frequently falling asunder.

 

When a prenup WON'T work

A prenuptial agreement is often seen as an indestructible, important tool to use heading into a marriage - and with good reason. A prenuptial agreement anticipates the event of a divorce and instructs spouses on how assets are to be distributed. Often, and perhaps stereotypically, prenuptial agreements are used by spouses with significant assets to ensure that their spouse-to-be is not looking to get married, only to divorce and hijack half of the wealth.

Prenups provide predictability to a marriage

Why many people mistakenly view a prenuptial agreement as a bad omen on a marriage is somewhat of an anomaly. If anything, prenuptial agreements provide stability and predictability to a marriage, which can often be hard to come by during this period of extreme transition.

A new twist on prenuptial arrangements emerges

Engaged couples around Texas and the rest of the United State are writing prenuptial agreements that address more than money. Now, they are including clauses that address things such as their partner's weight, infidelity and work habits, and even the couple's sex life.

Couples who live together turn to prenup-like pacts

Unmarried couples in Texas and throughout the United States are increasingly drawing up legal documents similar to prenuptial agreements to specify various matters, including those of the financial type, even though they haven't said "I do."

There are many advantages of preparing a prenuptial agreement

Now that Valentine's Day is over, many newly engaged couples will be flocking to stores to set up their wedding registries. Planning for a wedding can become overwhelming and many couples don't think about creating a prenuptial agreement despite almost half of marriages ending in divorce.

Prenuptial agreements provide major asset protection

Couples engaged to be married may find prenuptial agreements useful in order to avoid unnecessary future conflicts. It is easier to agree to financial terms when both parties are calm and level-headed rather than strained by the often-contentious issues of divorce.
