New Jersey Post-nuptial Agreements
NJ Postnuptial Attorneys
Once the wedding ceremony is over, many dedicated and loving couples discover that it is in their best interest to enter into a New Jersey Post-nuptial Agreement. While an [NJ Prenuptial Agreement] (also referred to as a premarital or ante-nuptial agreement) is often designed to protect assets acquired before a marriage, an NJ Post-nuptial Agreement (also referred to as a mid-marriage agreement) is generally designed to protect assets acquired during the marriage. Although this difference may seem slight, only a skilled and experienced New Jersey Post-nuptial Agreement lawyer knows how to specifically tailor such an agreement.
New Jersey Post-nuptial Agreements
New Jersey Post-nuptial Agreements can be obtained by any married couple in the State of New Jersey, including:
-
Couples who wish to alter the terms of their Prenuptial Agreement
-
Couples who wish to update their Prenuptial Agreement due to the passage of time
-
Couples who are married and wish to make plans for the division of their assets in the event of a divorce
Unlike NJ Prenuptial Agreements, NJ Post-nuptial Agreements are specifically designed for couples who are already married. New Jersey Post-nuptial Agreements can help married couples plan for a division of all their assets and debts should they separate, divorce, or die. In addition, marital issues—such as alimony—can be included in the Post-nuptial Agreement. Contrary to what many people believe, child custody cannot be written into an NJ Post-nuptial Agreement.
Standards for a New Jersey Post-nuptial Agreement
In order to have a legally valid NJ Post-nuptial Agreement, there must at least be:
-
Full disclosure by both parties
-
Independent representation for both parties
-
No coercion or duress
-
Fair and equitable terms
These strict standards strive to protect all parties entering into an NJ Post-nuptial Agreement. You should note, however, that the courts tend to scrutinize NJ Post-nuptial Agreements more than Prenuptial Agreements.
