01 Overview
What is a postnuptial agreement?
A postnuptial agreement (or postnup) is a legal contract that married couples can put in place to outline how their finances, property, and debts would be handled if the relationship ends. It’s similar to a prenup, but created after you’re already married. A postnup helps you both stay on the same page and protect what matters most.
There are all kinds of reasons couples choose to put a postnup in place. Often, it’s because life has changed in ways you didn’t expect when you first got married. For example:
- One partner receives a significant inheritance
- One takes on debt to go back to school
- One step away from work to raise children
- Or one starts a new business that needs protecting
There’s no shame in clarifying your finances as a couple. In fact, addressing difficult conversations around money early on can strengthen your relationship and give you peace of mind.
What does a postnuptial agreement involve?
Every postnup is different, but most cover things like:
- How property, savings, or investments would be divided
- What happens to shared or separate debts
- Business ownership and financial responsibilities
A postnup can also update or replace a previous prenuptial agreement, especially if circumstances have changed. It’s a practical way to protect both people’s interests, now and in the future.
Do you need a family law attorney for a postnuptial agreement?
If you want the agreement to hold up legally and be fair to both sides, an attorney is highly recommended. Postnups need to meet specific legal standards, and each state has its own rules about what makes an agreement valid. An attorney will help make sure your agreement is clearly written, properly structured, and built to stand the test of time.
When should you hire a family law attorney for your postnuptial agreement?
It’s worth speaking to an attorney as soon as you start thinking about a postnup. Maybe your financial situation has changed. Maybe one of you has inherited assets or even started a business. Or maybe you just want to clarify how things would work moving forward. Whatever the reason, getting legal advice early makes it easier to create an agreement that works for both of you, without added stress or confusion.
02 Benefits
How can a family law attorney support with a postnuptial agreement
Postnups can bring peace of mind, but they need to be handled carefully. Here’s how a family law attorney helps make that happen:
Legal clarity
Postnups can bring up big questions about money, property, and what’s fair for both of you. Your attorney is there to break it all down clearly. They’ll explain your legal rights, walk you through what a postnup can (and can’t) do, and help you understand how it all applies to your situation. Whether you’re protecting separate assets, planning for the future, or just want to avoid confusion later on, they’ll guide you through your options and help you make confident, informed decisions.
Balanced support
Your attorney’s role is to help you create an agreement that feels fair, respectful, and future-focused. That means taking time to understand what matters to you and making sure the terms reflect your values. The result? Less tension, fewer assumptions, and a better foundation for moving forward.
A document that holds up
For a postnup to be enforceable, it has to be done properly. Your attorney will make sure the language is clear, the process is handled correctly, and all the necessary steps (like disclosures, signatures, and formalities) are taken care of. It’s about protecting both partners and reducing the risk of disputes down the line.
03 Costs
How much does a postnuptial agreement attorney cost?
The cost of a postnup attorney depends on how complex your finances are, how much needs to be negotiated, and where you live. At Lawhive, we keep pricing transparent. No hourly fees, and you’ll get pricing each step of the way.
How long does the process take?
Most postnuptial agreements take around 2 to 6 weeks to complete. That can vary depending on how complex your financial arrangements are, how quickly both partners agree on the terms, and how early you start. Your attorney will guide you through every step and help move things along smoothly, without unnecessary delays.
