The range of what can be in a prenuptial agreement is flexible and can accommodate most of the individual wants and desires that a marrying couple may have. On the other hand, there are some strict rules about what cannot be in a prenuptial agreement.
Generally, a prenuptial agreement can deal with the following:
(a) division of property on divorce;
(b) whether particular items are considered community property or separate property;
(c) ownership of the marital residence;
(d) responsibility for premarital debts;
(e) distribution of property on death (although you also need to update your estate planning documents to reflect his);
(f) alimony obligations (in most States);
(g) financial responsibilities during the marriage;
(h) under which state’s law the prenup is (otherwise it will be the state of the divorce, and not the marriage);
(i) how disputes about the prenup are to be resolve (for instance through mediation or arbitration); and
(j) sunset clause – many couples allow that their prenuptial agreement will not be valid if they are married for a certain number of years.
There are a number of limitations to prenuptial agreements. Prenuptial agreements can’t deal with the following:
(a) custody of the children (this includes things such as in what religion to raise the children, their schooling, etc.);
(b) visitation to the children;
(c) child support;
(d) anything “illegal” (as with most contracts); and
(e) anything “unconscionable” (unfair)
(f) anything that is thought to encourage divorce;
Although most states permit prenuptial agreements to deal with alimony, a court is allowed to invalidate the alimony provisions if the judge believe them to be unjust. This will normally occur in long term marriages if there is a great disparity between spouses’ incomes and no or little alimony being paid.
Finally, although items that deal with particular aspects of married life, such as the division of household responsibilities, are allowed to be in a prenuptial agreement, including these may actually make increase the likelihood of a prenuptial agreement being invalidated. If this sort of thing is important to you and your spouse, it is best to put them in a separate agreement.
Hello,
My fiance and i will be getting married in three weeks and one of our concerns is our current debts and child support, can we do a pr-nup to insure that in marriage he is not responsible for mine and vise versa? I live in Washington State.
i would like to know if you can include current debts in the prenup that you would not like to be responsible for in the future including back child support. He has back child support and he does not want me to be responsible for it later or during the marriage
If I get married, and I purchased my house prior, to even meeting him, and we get married, and my name is the only one on the house papers. And we got divorced, would he be able to get any portion of my house. I am a single parent, getting no child support for my daughter, who is 16, from her father. So my house will basically one day be her inheritance. He has 2 children from his previous marriage. 16, and 9. Which he pays child support for. What would be the laws here in South Carolina? And I also have Cd’s and a Savings account and make more money than he does.
Is it possible to have a pre-nup where income of the couple remains separate? I have a large income & my potential future spouse has relatively zero. Thank you for any feedback!
I want to include a clause where if either of us commit infidelity they automatically forfeit their retirement pensions to the other is this legally binding?
I was commonlaw for 16 years with two girl, and I like to know if I’m entitle to my commonlaw spouse’s RRSP? cause my lawyer said that I’m not and I need another opinion. Thanks much for your time.
Respectfully Yours.
Lisa Young Le.
how long can you be married and break preuptial agreement we have been married 10yrs have been seperated6 or 7 mnths also if you had same lawyer and signed a few days before marriage my husband pulled this on me leaving me with knowing what to do
What if the prenop is done by both party sign and dated but on a singal paper and he knowing very well to what he has done will it stand in Court PLEASE REPLY THANK-YOU
Under the (g) category:; Financial responsibilties during the marriage, does this include debts acumulated, i.e. his/her medical bills and credits card debts?
I am engaged to a man who has a daughter with an ex that still wants to be with him. She has already threatened to take money from me to increase her support and attack equity in my future home. Is there anything I can do to protect myself before I marry him?
Alex, Please tell me who you are and where do you live.
I read your article and I have a common law husband who had investments – he spends a lot of money. But when he invested his invester advised him to get a prenuptual – he was and is financially better of than myself. We have been together 12 years. We were childhood sweethearts. BEfore this investor spoke to him everything was wonderful. Then about 8 years ago he informed my commonlaw husband of his rights and he stopped being intimate with me. I asked him many times what is wrong – I figured since he used to drink the first year we were together and had a problem with that but got help it may have been because of being impotent but now I realize it was because of what this investor told him and he is looking after his investments although he uses me for companionship and guidance he has one son and upon going to NEwGate 180 for one month back in 1999 he said in his reports that the most important person in his life was his son. He has only small assests and I thought that we would share in our lifestyle together forever and ever because I love him and he loves me. Well I guess I was wrong he is not looking out for my welfare. His son has a lot of money he is a CEO and his wife is a medical Doctor with a specialization. They just bought a home for around $600K or more. They have three children and are financially well off. They have always been polite to me but when their first child was born all the parents and grandparents and great grandparents were asked to put a cross on the childs forhead in Church – a Catholic Church and my commonl aw husbands ex-wife was there with her husband and he is pretty much considered the outsider like myself but because he married her they included him while I was in the first pew and centered out. It hurt my feelings that they wanted to show I was the wonton sinner women that lived with his dad – at least that is how I took it. I have been brought up a striked lutheran and my mom was Catholic and I embraced both religions. I felt throwarted.
That was a long time ago,and I don’;t feel anything about that anymore accept that I was an outsider.
But now I feel so bad. I knew my husband we met when I was 13 and he had just turned 14. It was pupply love at first sight for both. Then when I was 16 he gave me his class ring. When I was 16 he came to my High School Prom with me. When I was 17 someone hurt me and I ran away from the small town that he came from and I ran away from him. When I heard from people in the small town that his mother passed away I called him and extended my condolences because he was an only child and I knew he would be lost without her and wanted to tell him after all these years that I am sorry for his loss because i knew how much she ment to him. I always likes her. HE wanted to meet with me this was three months after her death. I said okay and we have been together ever since.
He owned a farm that his mother left him. The original school house of the small town. It was converted into a farm from my aunt and uncle and from age 13 to 17 years I worked in the country at their small country resturant which was next door to this farm and his mother bought the place about a year later. So my bedroom became his bedroom. We go way back. WE used go horse riding together.
When his mother died I helped him through things cleaning up the farmhouse and packing things for him. Sweeping and washing. etc. and supported him in being there for him. I was his strength. He sold the farm and I disagreed with him selling it so soon and he would not listen. He sold it for a mear 60K for 13 acres of land and a farm and barn. Later he said because he was sick I should have stopped him. I asked what do you mean and he said he was drinking then and it was not his fault for selling it. He still owns 90 acres of land that is useless because it is deamed nontillable soil and he cannot build on it. He also owns a small cottage that is falling down and needs lots of repair. It is the only thing paid for. His house that we share I am on the title but it is not paid for. His son wants the cottage so he can sell it and get some more money. He says for sentimental reasons but his wife will not go near there there is no running water and an outhouse only. But it will get hom some extra money.
I feel bad by what my cl spouse says. He says I am a liability when we argued yesterday. I realized now why he stopped being intimate with me – I feel it was because of what this personal advisore from Investors Group told him. When he came home from there around 7 years ago he announced to me that my assets are all mine and that I can keep everything that is mine. I do not have much. I am an artist that has had no time to paint and I like to write and have a computer and some books that is about it. I gave him my heart and soul. I loved this man and I think I still do love him but I cannot sit back and be trampled on.
My girlfriend said I am a strong women. I do not feel that. I helped him with his farm to clean it and gave him strength to get through his loss back then. Then his father was falling on the street with mini strokes and I went with him to the hospital and supported him and was there for him. His son was suppose to pick up him and grandpa and take grandpa to a senior home one day because grandpa had althimers. It was a residence – both my cl husband and his dad sat outside waiting for the son to arrive for more than two hours and he called me on my cell and I took my car over and drove them both to where they wanted to go and I was there for him everyday when he wanted to see his dad. I supported him through that and when the day came for his father to bo from a residence to a senior home for althimers I was the one that he asked to go to the home and be there to greet his father instead of him because he had to work. I went and was the daughter for the day that showed him to his new room and sat and had lunch with him in the home and made him feel he had family. When he died I was there for my spouse seeing that he had my support and care to walk threw this seeing that I lost my mom when she was 49 and my grandmother her mom was our second mother and suffererd Athimers and I knew what he would have to go through I was there for him. When his mothers boyfriend died I went and held his hand – it was his second father and I washed and baithed him when he came out of dying and wanted to be washed. Everyone else was afraid of death but I was there.This was 2005.
I broke my ankle in 2007 and he said I was just a burden and that he would never burden anyone like I did. I felt hurt and rejected but I carried on and was in shock. Two days after breaking my ankle I had a cast from my knee to my toes and crutches to get on with. But two days later still in pain and in a cast I had two attacks of gallstones – one at 8am and one at 10 am. I went to hospital he took me. Then 9 months later (after trying to watch what I eat and flush my system I gave up after two very sever attacks. I had the opera
tion he did not want to take care of me he put me in a hospise – He had to pay around $500.00 for this but he was whimpy and did not want take care of me when I was needing someone to cook for me and just be there for me.
Now he is in debt. I have helped him out may times. My friend I have are genuine and have loaned him money. But now I said we can work this out – I used to be working as an accountant – one of my many jobs the other was an Executive Assistant at Nortel. But he does not want me to work he wants my company all the time. I work a small business from my home but I need to advertise and he does not want to put my business cards out for me. He just wants me to be a companion to him and he needs me but I get nothing back in return – well I get a house over my head and food – so that is something. He said we will get his will changed about a month ago. But we do not have the money to do that. Financially right now we are strapped.
So I do not know where to go from here. I have always been resourceful and my girl friend on the phone told me that this morning but I feel very sad. I really enjoy his company just for him being himself and I feel he enjoys mine but he says cruel things and I am sure sometimes in his mind are cruel thoughts that are unjustified. Because he was an only child he seems to have to brag about what he has inorder to be happy. I am not like that – I just like the sun rise and the sun set and inner contentment. I cannot support myself financially right now – I am not bilingual and I am over 60 so who will hire me. And I will genuinely miss him believe it or not but it is him that has to come my way. So this is a kindoff catch 22. I will suffer if I leave and I will suffer if I stay.
I thought when two people are together they take care of each other and when you are told you do not contribute and that you are a liability it realy hurts. I do not believe he really sees what he is saying. I am there for him 24-7.
I would appreciate your comments.

Hi, my son is divorced, and is paying his x child support + 500.00 a month alomony to her , she’s got herself a boyfriend who’s been living with her for the past year. In all my son pays her 2,300.00 per month. He can’t get a loan to buy a house for him and his kids,He’s tried to get a loan but he pays out too much to her.. They have joint custody. Do he have to keep paying her even if she’s living commom law. She’s a teacher and the boyfriend’s got his own business.
What if after you get married your husband wants you to sign a prenup, you refuse to do so and he then wants a divorse?
To Bernadetto Jesso,
Think about it.. Your son married her and had chidren with her. If she works that is great..It is good for your grandchildren. If he pays her child support she has the kids. I think when men say I do they are saying I do forever.. He should pay her. the boyfriend did not make those kids your son did.. Her boyfriend did not say I do your son did. Im sorry he should pay child support and allimony or a one lump large sum like a quadro.. If it was u you would understand look up qualified domestic order.. then look up marriage in the bible..
I am a 64 year old lady discussing marriage with a 66 year old man. My concern is as follows. If one of us goes into the hospital or nursing home, are we leagally responsible for using our per-married retirment savings to support our spouse when that spouse’s savings are depleted?. Is it possible in Texas to have a clause included in a pre-nuptual agreement that we are not financially responsible?
My boyfriend and I are considering marriage. He has a child from a previous relationship. I wanted to know if I could sign a prenup so that I would not be responsible to pay child support for his son if his ex-girlfriend goes back to court?
Lisa,
Similarly, Bernadette’s son said I do to his ex, not to the ex’s boyfriend.
The boyfriend is living in a house that is paid for in part by Bernadette’s son (via child support and alimony.)
While the kids are solely the parents’ responsibility, hopefully Bernadette’s son can prove the alimony order to be unconscionable as it is meant to provide for a lifestyle comparable to that experienced during the marriage.
If she is living better due to assets shared by the boyfriend/his contributions, the alimony should be reconsidered and possibly reduced or eliminated.
Alimony is meant to pad for financial hardship due to a dissolution; it’s not a golden parachute.
Curious. Can I put in a prenup that I can not be financially responsible to pay for my soon to be husband’s child support? He wants me to do this and I want to know if this is possible. This is in the state of MA. Thanks!
I am about to marry someone who’s credit is bad and has some debts and I do not want to go against my credit or to responsible for or to pay for if they didn’t. Would I be held lresponsible if we are married? We are talking about having one checking account together to pay basic household bills, utilities, groceries, house repairs etc., then me having my own checking account and pay my own bills and them the same. What do you think?
Also, I have a house that my ex-husband and I both still own that we will live in after we are married? He has agreed to sign a Pre-Nup to waive all his and his children’s rights ever against the house, whether it’s by my death of in a divorce. Is this what I need to do to keep him or his children from having any rights to the house?

My fiance and I are going to be married soon…he has a kid and does not pay child support. Once we are married and she takes him for it would I be responsable for it
I am marrying a man that is 20 years older than me. We both have been previously married. I have two children, 1o yr and 16 yr, and he has three children, 19, 25 and 27. We are going to enter into a prenup. My hesitation is: upon his death I will be left alone and with nothing, other than my daily income. He is a successful atty and also my employer for the last 22 years. What if a divorce occurs? I am out of a job and money. Any suggestions? thanks .
My husband would not marry me unless I signed a pre-nup. I read it yesterday for the first time in 5 1/2 years for other reasons. It states that I had a lawyer represent me, and the lawyer confirmed that he did not represent me. It was also notarized without my presence. My income is much lower than his, and think that I want to get a divorce. The whole thing sounds wrong to me. He told me what was in it, and I signed it, “trusting him”, but not with any representation. He did not tell me to get representation either, or a notary. Is this really a valid document now? Do I have any rights? I hate to do all of this before the holidays, but I told my husband that I want it looked into. Please advise. Michelle.
I am 23 yrs old .An have been married for 4yrs my son is 4.But I have been with my husband since I was 16.

My dad recently passed away. I wanted to find out if he had a prenup with his wife. Where would I go to find this and would it still be valid if I found it. Apparently he left without a will so his wife would be entited half of everything according to my state’s laws. But I beleive my dad had a prenup and it may have excluded her from certain things of his that he acquired before marriage. I wanted to know if this would mean she would then be exluded from those things in his estate. The things in question do NOT include her primary residence. Please any advise would be very welcome. Thanks

hi,i got married last august 2011 and we sign a prenup, and stated at one page that i am entitled of $100,000 of his dead insurance ( knock on wood) but than i found out that till today my husband did not include me yet as his one of benificiary on his insurance and i am confuse. I am just protecting my future as no one knows wat will happen .ok my question is, if anything happen like he pass away and im not in his insurance beneficiary but i have our prenup stated that i am entitled for his dead insurance do i have a right ??I am from philippines and i gave up my job for our love and he dont allow me to work here in the US so i am a full time house wife, we sign a pre nup stating that i get paid $5000 a year prior the day of our marriege which is i dont mind as he’s providing me my everyday needs,
Cherrypie, I would make him put you on his insurance ASAP. I would even call the lawyer who drew up your prenup and let him know that he never did that but it was written in the prenup and make sure it’s still valid. Believe me I understand exactly what you mean about protecting yourself. DO IT NOW. DO NOT WAIT. KEEP ON HIM until he does it. It doesn’t matter how much much money he gives you now to provide your needs, how’s he going to provide for your needs after he dies if he doesn’t get those insurance papers signed. You signed those prenup papers for him like he asked, the least he can do is take care of those insurance papers for you so he know you’ll be taken care of if something happens to him (which I pray WILL NOT happen for many many years) I signed a prenup against everything I believed in, but I did it anyway and my husband was suppose to have a Will made to ensure I was taken care of in the event of his death or everything goes to his heirs. (family members) He hasn’t done it yet, I am resentful, I am angry, I don’t hound him everyday but I do remind him frequently. Although I am on all of his insurance papers, etc. But those insurance papers are easy enough to sign. A Will takes more planning. If anyone is concerned about a prenup here are a couple things we put in ours that I would not sign unless they were put in there. I know with every fiber of my being my husband would never cheat on me or me on him but if either one of us had an affair the prenup becomes null and viod. This was just to piss him off. He didn’t like it but I told him I was adding things I wanted so deal with it. (I know I think what you want, but I was really pissed about this whole thing, and yes you can say he was just protecting himself, but he’s not made of gold, he doesn’t have an inheritance, and I am not in debt, his reasons for a prenup were more for ego and stubbornness) The other thing was the prenup becomes null and void after 10yrs of marriage. Then what was his before we married is mine and what was mine before is his. You can put whatever time limit you want. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER sign a prenup with out having an attorney go over it with you. NEVER NEVER NEVER use the same attorney your b.f or g.f. is using. Go through each section one at a time, make notes on one copy with your attorney, add things, change things, take out things. Then go home, talk about it, compromise, go back to the attorney go over it again. You make sure you are comfortable with it before you sign anything. Remember you are the one that’s being asked to sign this agreement, you will regret it if you go along with something you are not comfortable with that is written or not written in there. You will be resentful and angry at him/her and yourself if you sign and don’t feel good about it. They need to understand this because they love you just like they expect you to understand signing the prenup. Oh and one more thing, get a Will done right away. I understand that the whole point of a prenup is so that you don’t end up with the family treasures but you are the spouse and the person he/she is in love with, you should get something and if there’s no Will stating it, you will get NOTHING, it will all go the heirs. I don’t think you can state things like that in a prenup, it’s Estate planning and that’s more a Will thing. I am fighting the battle right now, it’s not fun, trust me. A spouse is not an heir. Good luck to everyone, I hope I was some help.
I am getting married and my family has drawn up a prenup for my spouse to be to sign, it states we basically come into the marriage and out of the marriage with what we brought into it. Basically what is mine is mine etc. However, it states if we divorce or I die, he walks away same as before. I was just wondering if I add him to my will, in the event of my death, will he be able to get what I want him to get, regardless of the prenup. I do want to will him everything I have is that ok with the prenup.
Urgently, help need.

Hello, i am a foreign marrying a american man. He wants a prenup. I am ok with that. I don’t want his money. But what if we have a child in the future? How is it going to be if we divorce with a child? What if some of us die? Can you please give me some advice? I have a young friend who was married to a man and he died but left everything for her. If this horrible thing happen i will be left with nothing for me and my child?
I’m going to married in Blomfield,CT.
and I do have many properties in my country, advice me wthat I suld do? thanks
Sunshine- a prenuptial agreement is something intelligent people do to not only Proctect themselves and their property, but their children and finances. My husband and I have been married for 25 years, we have separate bank accounts, cars and rental propertys. I am a physician assistant and my husband works for the city govement. I was 18 when we got married and a prenup defiantly seems negative when first proposed, however it was the smartest decision I have ever made. I love my husband more and more each day, and we have a fairly traditional marriage, aside from my full time career. 50% of marriages fail, and it’s better to be safe than sorry. God and faith and all that junk has nothing to do with making an intelligent/executive decision about present/future financial accommodations.
Hi, Can u please elaborate on G. financial responsibility during marriage. Can I put in a prenup i’m not responsible if he accrues medical debt or other debt during marriage and then we leave or he passes away?
I have a Revocable Trust for several years with my estate planning attorney. Revised it three times within the last six years. Last time I revised it, I asked my attorney if I could put a clause in it, that my daughter (my only child) must have a prenuptial agreement prior to inherit my estate. He said I was getting too sleek. Why I cannot do this. Why not?
Thank you.
I’ve racked up massive debt when my flight school went bankrupt and took my money. My fiancé and I have been together unmarried for so long, I didn’t know how to save her from my debts in case I were to die. I do not want her to receive my debts. How can this get configured for marriage? We were hoping to tie the knot officially in just a couple weeks. Thanks for your time.
Is it legally binding to address reasons for divorce in a prenup? I want a clause that states that in the event we divorce due to abuse, abandonment, or infidelity, the wronged spouse gets 100% of the community property and 50% of the other’s separate property… would this hold up in court? I know it is harsh, but, this will be both our second marriages and I want to give an incentive to make it our last. Please advise.
My husband had debts before we were married & we did a prenuptial agreement – we live in California. Our state refund was intercepted and send to a county agency. They are saying that government agencies are excluded from prenuptial agreements and they do not honor them. Is this correct?
I am going to school to obtain my PhD. My boyfriend keeps asking me to marry him ,we haven’t been together that long and he is being persistent. If I decide to say yes would I be able to do a prenuptial to protect my future assets ?
[…] Not only is honesty the best policy for your relationship when entering a marriage especially, but your prenuptial agreement might actually be voided if you aren’t honest. So you need to be upfront about all your financial details. The courts see it as your partner not knowing all the details before they agree, basically nulling the agreement. […]
If a person is married less than 3 years in Texas and dies, is a 4 year old Will valid? The Will does not mention the new wife since it is dated prior to remarriage. Both were widows when remarried at 80. Unsure if Texas law would entitle her to half (he was worth a lot) or if the daughter would get it all. I am hoping that the new wife, now widower, would at least be able by law to keep the house. The daughter has already called to cut off credit cards, the house electricity, it’s crazy. We are just friends but, I don’t think it’s right or the law? Please advise what you think. You know any good Texas lawyers in Austin, San Antonio, areas that handle this type of case?

Have been separated from my husbsnd for a few months. We both signed a prenup before we married, stating what is yours
is yours and what mine is mine, including any debt, not making each other responsible for each other’s debts. We purchased a home but according to prenup, I do not have any right to any real estate after marriage because of prenup. My question is, can I purchase a home solely on my name and my husband not having right to my home because of prenup that is in place.
We have a man that lost his wife of 40 years, they signed a prenump but will it hold up? The children are trying to put him out of the house they spent their time in when the wife did not work and he paid all the property taxes, they have stripped access to all the money they accumulated from her not working and being on an account.
My fiancée and I are looking into a prenup due to him having a child from a previous relationship. I don’t want my finances or our shared financial responsibility to be affected by his owed child support. Will I be protected if we get a prenup or does it not even count once we are married? We at this time do not have any children together and I don’t have children at all. Please advise what we should do.
I will be marring an older man, who currently gave everything to his sons. If and when he becomes too ill and needs to go to a nursing home do I lose my home and assists which I have now ,before marriage ..everything is in my name. Would a prenup cover this.
In India prenup has no legal sanctity.

My partner and I agreed to share everything equally after marriage. However he is wondering if we can add a cluase that force both parties to commit to contribute to their RRSP ?
Thanks
Can l ask my son to put his inheritance from me into a pre-nup, so that he doesnt lose it if he gets divorced and is that a right or wrong thing to ask?
I have a prenup and in the documents it asks that the prenup be enforced in both Texas and California? is that legal?
My fiancé and I have been together for 6 years can I ask for all these yrs to be acknowledge in the pre nup?
I own my house out right. I purchased and paid for this home on my own. Is there anyway for my new husband to be able to claim any of it during a divorce or my death. I have one daughter and a Living trust in place. I also have retirement and mutual funds which I accumulated prior to even meeting him. We live in California. Would he have any claim to this or get any portion of my house equity.
He also owes over $120,000 in back child support payments. He has 2 children that are school age and pays child support. Would I be responsible for any of this payment? What would be the laws here in California.
Going to by a house with my fiancé
Her x barely pays child support and sees the 8 year old rarely
Can he try to get a portion of the house if the title is under
