Take the Time to Classify Your Property Now
A prenuptial agreement (created before you enter into marriage) or a postnuptial agreement (created after your marriage has been formalized) allows you to identify certain assets and debts as separate, or nonmarital. As Arizona is a community property state, any property or asset identified as marital will be equitably divided between the parties upon divorce. In general, equitable division means equal.
If you have brought significant or special property into your marriage, or if you will be bringing certain assets into a marriage in the near future, you should seriously consider seeking my help to craft your postnuptial or prenuptial agreement. Common issues I can help you address include:
- Business reasons: If you are a partner or sole proprietor, you want to ensure that your business is not affected by your marriage or your potential divorce.
- Debt concerns: Sometimes an individual will come into a marriage with extensive debts and liabilities (e.g., student loans) and he or she does not want his or her spouse to be held liable.
- Estate planning purposes: In the event of your untimely passing, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can be used to assist in the division of your assets and debts during probate.
- Children from previous relationships: Antenuptial agreements are common among individuals entering into marriage with children from prior relationships. These agreements help clarify any specific property or care concerns a parent may have.
