About Postnuptial Agreements
A postnuptial agreement is a legally binding contract that is entered into after a couple is married that sets out how the couple's property would be divided in the event of a divorce.
While Georgia courts prefer that parties resolve property disputes themselves, if a couple cannot agree on how their property should be divided, the court will step in and make the decision for them. This is why it is important to have a well-drafted postnuptial agreement in place.
The terms of a postnuptial agreement can vary widely. Some common provisions include:
- Allocating specific assets to each party
- Specifying how debts and expenses will be paid by each party
- Providing for the payment of support to a spouse and/or children
- Specifying how property will be divided in the event of a divorce
- Providing for the payment of alimony to a spouse
- Providing for the payment of attorney's fees
