Can Couples Make Agreements After Marriage?
Couples can enter into agreements after marriage comparable to Premarital Agreements. These are commonly referred to as “Postmarital Agreements.” With Postmarital Agreements, it is particularly important that each spouse disclose the full nature and extent of his/her assets and debts. Married individuals are in a “confidential” relationship under the law, and cannot take financial advantage of each other. For this reason, it is important that both parties understand the full nature and extent of any property and support rights and obligations they are changing through their Postmarital Agreement.
