There could be many unexpected turns in a marriage that may leave you baffled including agreeing to a divorce.
When things do not work out between spouses, divorce is a better option to go ahead with for the happiness of both the partners.
While the process of a divorce can be immensely exhausting, there are certain things that partners should decide on before marriage, in case things take a downward trip.
Prenuptial agreements, popularly known as prenups are an important part of the agreement that couples should definitely pay heed to, before their wedding.
What are prenuptial agreements?
A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract between two partners before getting married where the contract includes the distribution of assets, liabilities and issues. It even includes the custody of children, if ever the couple separate in future.
Let’s now have a look at the number of reasons why prenuptial agreements are necessary.
1. You both can have an honest conversation
When prenups come into the picture, you and your spouse turn towards each other to sort out things. It is at this point that you both begin having important conversations about the future, that includes expectations, opinions and thoughts. Having open and honest conversations sets the tone for marriage in the future.
2. Fair balance of assets
With the presence of a lawyer, dividing assets and liabilities between spouses before their marriage is easier as there is a fair balance in between them, or else, there is a possibility of losing it. Prenups ensure there is a balance between the assets.
3. Makes divorce less complicated
When everything is legally sorted before you and your partner enter the union of marriage, it becomes radically easier to work everything out. A prenup will help you and your partner to resolve all issues without going into any further legal complications.
