Prenuptial agreements can take some of the heartache out of divorce settlements. Where a prenuptial agreement exists, upon separation the couple’s assets are divided as originally agreed. Much of the bitterness, heightened emotion and long, drawn-out negotiations are avoided. People with a high net worth clearly have a need to draw up a prenuptial agreement if they are considering marriage, as in simple terms they have more assets that might be liable to be shared should the marriage not last.

Prenuptial agreements are effective and protective arrangements that ensure an individual is not stripped of assets either unfairly or unnecessarily. Where one partner has accumulated a disproportionate amount of wealth in comparison to their spouse, it is only natural to want to protect that achievement. A client with a high net value is always advised to ensure that a prenuptial agreement is in place, no matter how much he or she feels it is an unnecessary or unromantic process. It is an unfortunate statistic that more marriages fail now than ever before. As marriage is as much an economic partnership as it is a legal one and, as many marriages actually end in divorce, protecting your worth to the same proportionate level as when you entered the marriage, is crucial to your living standards beyond the marriage’s end.
A Phoenix prenuptial agreement lawyer is ideally placed and highly skilled to discuss and plan prenuptial agreements that are fair and protective. This can actually prove to ensure the relationship between the two parties entering the agreement remains strong, and possibly even stronger when both sides are aware that they have some considerable protection should their relationship falter. Within the state of Arizona, if no prenuptial agreement is in place, the courts will decide how any estate will be divided, irrespective of which individual may have contributed most to that wealth.
