Official Code of Georgia §19-3-62 governs prenuptial agreements in Georgia, which are also legally known as antenuptial contracts. These legally enforceable arrangements enable individuals to establish specific guidelines dictating each spouse’s rights and responsibilities prior to marriage.
“Prenups” may also be written to establish provisions determining how a couple would resolve certain issues if they were to separate. They might alternatively be drafted in circumstances such as one spouse entering the marriage with sizeable financial assets in need of protection, or one spouse coming out of a previous marriage with children from another person.
