Maine Postnuptial Agreement: What Is It?

A Maine Postnuptial Agreement is a contract that is signed by both spouses during the time that they are married. The document in legal terms is a formal contract and the main purpose of it is to describe the way that a property is shared - only in the event that a spouse seeks a divorce or passes away, therefore acting as a guarantee.

If this happens the case will go to court and a judge will decide if the agreement can be enforced or not. There should be no issues as long as the points below are taken into consideration:

• Any agreements made need to be documented in writing and should be signed by both parties;
• There should be no pressure to force anyone to sign the agreement;
• In Maine, it is acceptable for such contracts to be signed even if a divorce is planned;
• Such documents are often scrutinized a lot more in comparison to other contracts.

Any arrangements that are written in the contract should be reasonable. If a judge accepts the terms, the document will become legally binding.
