Should You Get a Prenup?
If your marriage ends in divorce, the last thing you want to be dealing with is the division of your property and assets. By drawing up a prenuptial agreement well before your wedding, the details you may need years down the line will already be settled.
Prenuptial agreements are common among those who have previously gone through a difficult divorce or have a sizeable portion of assets. Regardless of your circumstances, it is in your best interest to divide your property, rather than letting the court do it for you.
What Is Covered in a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement covers a wide variety of important asset-related concerns.
Your prenuptial agreement can include:
- Whether or not spousal support will be provided
- The division of life insurance
- The division of assets and property
- Determining the payment of premarital debts
- Medical care and disability insurance, should the need arise
- Provisions for your children from a previous marriage, such as inheritance and the like
- Child support
In the state of Missouri, future child custody cannot be included in a prenuptial agreement. If and when the time comes to decide upon this, the decision will be made based on the child's best interests at that time.
