If You Are Thinking About a Prenuptial Agreement in Michigan, Contact an Attorney
It is not uncommon for family law attorneys to receive phone calls from clients asking if a premarital agreement is a good idea. Chances are, if a client is asking whether a prenuptial agreement is advisable, it very well may be for that particular individual and couple.
Generally speaking, Michigan laws governing marriage and divorce spell out how marital property will be divided in the event of marital breakdown. A prenuptial agreement offers couples the opportunity to devise their own contract which will apply in case their own marriage is dissolved.
Circumstances which may indicate that a prenuptial agreement is advisable often include the following:
- If either engaged party is entering into a second or third marriage.
- If either engaged person has children from a previous relationship.
- If either or both spouses-to-be is an owner or co-owner of a business.
- If one party has substantially more assets or income than the other.
- If either party anticipates a large inheritance or proceeds from the sale of a business.
