Postnups offer couples a smoother road in a fragile economy

Description

Abstract: When people see the words “nuptial” and “agreement” used together, they may immediately think of prenuptial agreements — or “prenups.” But many couples may benefit from a postnuptial agreement. Even in states where postnups aren’t legally recognized, couples can still create informal agreements for the purpose of clarifying their respective wishes and responsibilities. Postnups aren’t without risks, but they can help couples avoid protracted and expensive divorce proceedings.
