Charlotte Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer
Helping Clients Draft Prenuptial Agreements in North Carolina
A prenuptial agreement can protect your spouse and your children’s financial interests. Without one, your assets could go to your spouse’s kids from a previous marriage or an ex-spouse. To create a valid prenup, the agreement must be written and notarized before marriage. The prenup needs to be reasonable and fair, according to both parties’ disclosure of all assets and liabilities.
What is the Purpose of a Prenup?
A prenuptial agreement can do all the following:
- Determine which assets are community or separate property
- Determine a method to distribute property in the event of a divorce
- Provide financial relief to children from a previous marriage/relationship
- Keep business interests, heirlooms, and other forms of inheritance within the family

Does a Prenup Protect You From Alimony?
A prenuptial agreement cannot waive a spouse’s right to alimony, predetermine child custody or child support issues, provide financial incentives for divorce, or require either spouse to do something illegal. It is imperative to work with an attorney to ensure the prenup adheres to state law and can be upheld in court. Each spouse should consult their lawyer when creating a prenup. Our firm can guide you through the complexities of the legal process and ensure your assets and future are protected.
Protect Your Assets With a North Carolina Prenuptial Agreement
Whether you have children from a previous marriage, own or help run a family business, have significant assets, or have given up your career to get married, you should consider creating a prenuptial (before marriage) or postnuptial (after marriage) agreement to protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
While discussing the possibility of a “prenup” with your fiancé can be difficult, such an agreement can benefit both spouses and may resolve issues in a marriage when they are properly addressed beforehand.
