Protecting Your Rights and Assets
Postnuptial agreements are most commonly drawn in order to define the property rights of a couple, at some point in time after the marriage. Such an agreement can declare, for example, that a separate asset be considered a marital asset, or vice versa. An agreement can also give one party exclusive rights concerning a piece of property such as giving a spouse occupancy rights to the home, should the couple wish to separate but not divorce.
