There may be times when prenuptial agreements are made before marriage is entered into. There may also be times when similar agreements are made after a marriage has already begun, commonly called postnuptial agreements. In most cases, these agreements outline how property will be divided in the event a marriage ends in divorce. There are countless ways that these agreements can be drawn up. They may clearly define what type of property is to be considered “separate” and what type of property will be “marital.” However, these agreements can also be vague, leading to serious problems if a divorce occurs.
