New York Prenuptial Agreement: What Is It?

A New York Prenuptial Agreement refers to a formal instrument created by the couple that is going to get married in the nearest future in order to set forth the terms of their life together.

Alternate Names:

• New York Prenup Agreement;
• New York Premarital Agreement.

Even if you and your partner do not have large assets and you do not plan to become parents, it is a good idea to draft this contract while you are preparing for the wedding. It will safeguard your financial interests and inheritance rights of your kids from the previous relationships, confirm you are not liable for the debts incurred by your spouse, and establish the rules both of you will have to follow during your marital life.

The contents of the document are up to you but in most instances, the engaged couple chooses to determine how to separate the assets they will acquire in the future and share the potential earnings, define the conditions of spousal support and child support (which is possible even before you are permanently separated), and indicate the grounds for divorce that make the provisions of the agreement unenforceable. Book an appointment with a local notary public to certify your intentions to formalize this contract and sign the papers in their presence - this way, you will reduce the risk of a potential dispute over the authenticity of the instrument.
