Discuss the reasons for prenuptial and postnuptial agreements

What will be an ideal response?


The student should indicate that a prenuptial agreement is a contract signed by a couple before marriage outlining in advance how property will be divided and children cared for in the event of divorce. These agreements protect individuals with large assets in marriage. A postnuptial agreement is worked out by a couple after they marry. Usually, these are entered into when one partner receives a large inheritance or has children from a previous marriage they want to provide for.
