The overriding reason for having a prenuptial agreement is to help reduce potential conflict if the couple should divorce.   A prenuptial agreement is valuable if: - One spouse has more wealth than the other. Therefore, without a prenup, the person would stand to lose more than the other in the case of divorce or dissolution. - One party owns a business.  A prenup can place a company outside of the marital ‘pot’ and safeguard the interests of the business owner, shareholders, and employees.   - The parties marry late in life, and there are children or previously owned property to consider.  These are not the only reasons to consider a prenuptial agreement.
