A couple may agree to waive spousal support, also known as alimony, in their Prenuptial Agreement in the event of a divorce. Couples may also agree to provide spousal support, including any details, such as a schedule, should the marriage end up in divorce. Ultimately, if the matter comes before a judge, the judge may not only look at the terms of the Prenuptial Agreement, but may also look at the circumstances of the two parties to the agreement to determine what was agreed to, whether the agreement is valid, and whether or not enforcing it results in an unfair outcome for either of the parties.
State laws may differ on the validity of prenups and the individual circumstances of each couple can impact the terms of the agreement. Making a customized Prenuptial Agreement can save time and money, but if your situation is complex, such as a second marriage, you may want to consider having a Rocket Lawyer network attorney review your prenup at an affordable rate.
