Let\u2019s answer the last bit of your question first: Yes, it\u2019s probably unromantic. But that\u2019s only to be expected\u2014love and romance aren\u2019t practical things. They tend to be all consuming. They are focused on the here-and-now and don\u2019t look forward to the future.<\/p>\n
And\u2014let\u2019s face it\u2014sometimes romantic love doesn\u2019t last. Bedazzled as you are right now, you don\u2019t want to think about that, of course. But acknowledging that sometimes people fall out of love isn\u2019t going to doom your relationship.<\/p>\n
People can enter a marriage in North Carolina with vastly different expectations of what married life is like, and with significantly different resources. In some cases, it just makes sense to plan for what might happen in the future if the marriage does not work out, just as you and your fianc\u00e9e will probably be altering your life insurance coverage now that you are starting a family together.<\/p>\n
A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract between people soon to marry, committing both parties in advance to certain agreements if a divorce occurs. Such a document can:<\/p>\n
About half of all marriages in the United States simply do not last. Yours may be one of the fortunate ones, but you should not gamble on that. If either partner in a soon-to-be-married couple believes that you need a North Carolina prenuptial agreement, then you owe it to each other\u2014at a minimum\u2014to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n
As North Carolina family law attorneys<\/a>, we can tell you that the process of developing a prenuptial agreement can be a positive experience for a couple. When marriages fail, it is often because of money issues\u2014and even more often because the partners have never had a frank conversation about income, wealth, and debt. Discussing finances before marriage opens the lines of communication on many other issues.<\/p>\n In rare cases, holding this conversation shows a couple that they simply aren\u2019t compatible with one another. Now, that\u2019s sad, but surely it\u2019s better to find this out before marriage rather than after. And in other cases, the couple discovers that they are in fundamental agreement about so many things that they decide not to sign the prenup after it is drafted.<\/p>\n If you are ready to begin the process of drawing up a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, or if you just need further information, call 910-341-7570<\/strong><\/a> toll-free to connect with a Wilmington matrimonial lawyer at Speaks Law Firm.
